Exoprosopa jacchus

I'm very happy for finding such little cutie. I've always been searching for bee flies like these, because they are very hard to find (on my area)

These are bees? Thats unusal i have never seen anything quite like it. Great macros ricky :) littemissriri · 2011-06-15: 19:20

Nice captures! darfoster · 2011-06-15: 21:00

we call them ....three corner flies....three jaw flies.....they look differant abit.....but they will bite worse then the mosquito... and won't leave you alone....but cold winter here slowed the bugs.....not a bad thing at all.... MARETKA88 · 2011-06-15: 21:25

Are they flies or bees. We have something called a deer fly which appears very similar. When they bite, ooohhhh, they itch. stabeez · 2011-06-15: 21:50

Congratulations on your lucky find! danrav · 2011-06-15: 22:05

They look like deer flies, that we have here in Canada... but they are not the same fly (I checked) McMommy · 2011-06-15: 22:10
