It looks like a Bumble Bee, but the short antennae and single pair of wings reveal it to be a Bee-mimic Robber Fly (Genus Laphria). This is an example of Batesian Mimicry, where a palatable species evolves to mimic a dangerous, untasty, or toxic species. In this case, this fly mimics the Bumble Bee, an insect that most predators choose not to mess with. This fly was observed on our most recent Wonder Hike. Maybe we will see you on the next one on June 10?!
