Western Bee-fly ~ Bombylius canescens

            Love these rare, little bee-flies, and they are tiny, coming in at around 7mm, about half the size of the common dark-edged bee-fly. Quite hard to tell apart from the even rarer Heath bee-fly. (See in comments below): The obvious distinguishing features are the 'had a rough night' look and the dark bristles around the back of the head.
