Le bombyle - a photo on Flickriver

Le bombyle

Un petit diptère inoffensif pour l'homme (sa longue trompe droite ne sert qu'à butiner) ... mais pas pour les abeilles solitaires (parasitisme).

On dirait qu'il utilise ses deux pattes arrière comme stabilisateurs de vol....

Comme le moro-sphinx (lépidoptère), c'est un adepte du vol stationnaire. Les ailes battent très très vite. La vitesse portant rapide de la photo (1/250 ème de seconde) n'a pas permis de les figer, laissant une discrète trace de "motion blur".

The large bee-fly
A small diptera, harmless against human poeple (its long right trunk only serves to forage) ... but not against solitary bees (parasitism).
It looks like it’s using his two hind legs as flight stabilizers...
Like the hummingbird hawk-moth (lepidopteran), it is a fan of hovering. The wings beat very, very fast. The rapid shutter speed (1/250 second) did not allow to freeze them, leaving a trace of "motion blur".
