- Cover photo description:
- Black and yellow hoverfly with incredible image details, Many insects mimic bees in their appearance, behavior, flying action, and size. Wasps are the most obvious bee mimics because of their black and yellow striped bodies and ability to cause a painful sting. However, some black and yellow flies, moths, beetles, and ants look remarkably like bees. Apart from wasps and hornets, many of the bugs that look like bees are relatively harmless. So, being able to identify insects that look like bees can help to spot harmless bugs from stinging ones. Hoverflies are the type of insect that most commonly resembles a typical bee. Many hoverfly species have bands of yellow and black colors, making them hard to tell apart from a bee. Also, hoverflies hover around flowers, feeding on nectar, just as you’d expect a honeybee to do.Pictures of hoverflies show that they generally have a smoother body than a typical bumblebee or honeybee. Another way to tell a hoverfly apart from a regular bee is the number of wings. Flies have one pair of wings, whereas bees and wasps have two pairs.There are another few tell-tale signs to help identify honeybees from hoverflies. Flies have larger compound eyes than bees. In addition, bee-like flies have short stumpy antennae. Finally, although some hoverflies have fuzzy bodies, most of them are smooth, making them look more like wasps than bees.
