⚡️📸 Lovely Photograph of a Japanese Bee Fly! 🐝❤️
The Japanese beefly (Bombylius japonicus) is a species of fly native to Japan and other parts of East Asia.
These flies are known for their resemblance to bees, with hairy bodies and a suspended flight pattern.
They are often found in open habitats such as fields and grasslands, where they feed on the nectar of flowers.
Despite their bee-like appearance, Japanese bee flies don't sting and are harmless to humans. They play a role in pollination, as they visit flowers to feed, which makes them beneficial insects in their ecosystems.
