This Space for Rent

This is not the bee you are looking for

A golden nectar eating fly

This nectar-eating fly was hanging out by the bus stop when I went home for lunch today. It wasn't about to be bothered by any pesky primate with a camera; the only thing it did to acknowledge my presence was to turn slightly towards me after I'd taken 5-6 (flash) pictures. It's a pretty big bug, too; it's about half-again the size of the bumblebees that were flying around the butterfly bush.

If I ever go to Sacramento I hope to photograph one of their bees, or maybe have my photo taken with the governor and a bee.
