I took this picture when I was photographing the Bluffer’s Park Marina<\/a> it was sitting on a wooden post that held a sign. Being completely unfamiliar with this insect I thought it was another member of the family Ulidiidae<\/em><\/a>, but after some search on the Internet I have realized that it wasn’t so and in fact it belongs to a different family altogether the Bombyliidae<\/em>, the bee flies.<\/p>\n
