Re: Hover Fly
That is a Hover Fly?? Goodness! In the US, we associate that color combination with the Yellow Jacket. Quite a powerful sting they can bring. And if you are allergic in the slightest to the yellow jacket's venom, it's straight to the hospital for you! I suppose you would get a bit of a laugh sneaking a Hover Fly onto your friendly American tourist...

Re: Hover Fly
You can see it does not have a sting, or mouth piece. It just lives off flowers and looks like a wasp to keep the birds away. I've been stung by wasps. Many times. We sat in their nest. Bees worst, that hurts. Agree, very dangerous wasp and bee venoum. This fly will not harm you. I have no problem with wasps either. |
