Ray's Thought for the Day - Can You Find Bee Fly Buddy?

Mmmm. That cinnamon bun was delicious. Ha! Bee fly buddy is in this picture somewhere. Can ye find, bee fly buddy?

Today, bee fly buddy was landing on stuff, most notably Salvia greggii flowers. Plus, bee fly buddy was going in the corollas head first like a proper pollinator, instead of biting through the corolla tube like a dang bumblebee would.

So I says, Bee fly buddy, why are ye landing on stuff today?

And bee fly buddy says, I need extra energy to deal with all the other bee flies that are about today, Ray. Which reminds me, I have to be bee fly sociable now, so ye, Ray, may go unmonitored somewhat.

Sure enough, I then began to notice a great many other bee flies, besides bee fly buddy. And bee fly buddy was interacting with the other bee flies, aggressively.

Then I says, Bee fly buddy, do you need any help dealing with all these other bee flies.

No, no, no Ray, bee fly buddy says, Ye need to stay out of my bee fly business.

All righty then, I says.

Here's my pal, bee fly buddy, enlarged.
