Appearances Can Be Deceiving

Hoverflies are often mistaken for bees due to their similar striped abdomens, but don't worry, these flies cannot sting as bees do. If you see what you think is a bee hovering over a flower then darting quickly to another, it is most likely a fly. Look closely at the eyes or antennae. Fly eyes take up most of the head, while bee eyes are placed on the side of the head. Additionally, fly antennae are short and stubby, while bees have long antennae. This Syrphid fly (Sphaerophoria) is sipping nectar from an Arrowleaf Balsamroot bloom.

"Nature is to be found in her entirety nowhere more than in her smallest creatures." — Pliny the Elder
