Bee-fly female laying eggs I spotted this female laying eggs while a few other males were hovering around as though they were waiting for her to be done or protecting her.

        Yes, it's wonderful to see the size comparison between the fly and eggs, really puts it into perspective. Nice timing! Posted 6 years ago
