The Living Forest (127) : Drone Fly feeding on Cow Parsley

Description

Cow Parsley grows mostly all along shaded roadsides in the forest.

The delicate white flowers are very attractive to insects like this Drone Fly, a hoverfly that looks somewhat like a Honey Bee.
It’s called Drone Fly because of this resemblance (sometimes also known as False Bee).
