Conops
quadrifasciatus  |
||
| 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. This C. quadrifasciatus was photographed at Clipstone Old Quarter, Sherwood Forest on 14/08/06, but has been found in several other woodlands. | ||
