Description
I like this side view of it. I was lucky that it was so keen on sunbathing it sat for a while.
Bombylius major
Bombylius major larvae parasitise beetle larvae as well as the brood of solitary wasps and bees - another reason for its name.
The female has been seen to flick her eggs mid-air into the ground bees and wasps nests.
Coy Pond, Bournemouth.
Here is one in flight taken last April

God bless the ugly child. This thing looks like it was put together by a committee. An outstanding shot. And, yes, the focus is perfect.
