Conops
flavipes  |
||
| Thick-headed Flies belong to the Canopidae family, but certain anatomical features, suggest that they are closely related to hoverflies. Several species are excellent wasp mimics and the larvae of this parasitic family feed internally in bees and wasps. The adults are nectar feeders, regularly visiting flowers. C.flavipes is the commonest species we have come across and was photographed at Warsop Wood on 26/07/06. | ||
