Do any of you know - Is this large fly a "Bee fly" (Family Bombiliidae), and if so, do any of you know what species it is and what insects it parasatizes? Do they bite humans?
(Birders - yes, this is a bird question since probably some birds think they are delicious!) BTW, these are the laziest flies I've ever run across. All they do is sit around all day - which, if they bite, is ok with me. And it's ok with any predators that might want to eat them, I suppose. Thanks!
