Look what came to visit my garden


Its a Greater Bee Fly you can read all about it on the Natural History Museum site here http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/species-of-the-day/biodiversity/loss-of-habitat/bombylius-major/index.html

I was brave and picked it up as it looked pooped. Put it in the greenhouse, shut door and took pictures. Never ever seen one before, I think if it flew past you would mistake it for a bee.
