Genus Zodion
Male and female Thick-headed Fly found at Bear River MBR. Zodion are endoparasites of bees and
wasps; that is, the larvae feed inside their hosts until the hosts die and then the Zodion emerge (the stuff
scary movies are made of). © Carol Davis 6-9-2013
How can anything so cute be so menacing? These mating flies were everywhere this day seeming
to particularly favor these little flowers. © Carol Davis 6-9-2013
