Hi Angus and All=2C
It's actually a bit of both. My new camcorder (Panasonic TM700) takes re=
ally good still images and I often use it when rather than pulling still im=
ages from the video. Both options produce great stills and if I ever learn =
how my camera fully works they will be even better.
I too want to thank Chris for his ID which=2C although surprising=2C led=
to a very interesting google search on this fascinating species. All the b=
est.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] FW: bee ID ?
This is interesting to me since the only photo I have posted of this specie=
s was taken in Aspy Bay=2C not far from where Fritz lives. I was surprised =
to learn it was once in the genus Bombyliopsis which I associate with the d=
istinctive Bee Flies. Thanks to Chris for this insight.=20
Fritz ......was this photo a still from a camcorder video or did you break =
down & get a digital camera lol Nice photo in any case.

Hi Fritz=2C
This isn't a bee=2C but rather a tachinid fly called Hystrica abrupta (Wied=
emann) (formerly placed in the genus Bombyliopsis). For some photos see:

The larvae of this species are parasites on the caterpillars of arctiid mot=

Cheers!
