Tiger bee fly larvae are ectoparasites, primarily targeting solitary bee species. They enter host nests, where larvae attach to and consume bee larvae. Engaging in parasitism for nutritional gain and development, tiger bee fly impacts host populations by reducing reproductive success, while the parasite benefits from secured resources.

Black banded bee fly, a member of Order Diptera, flaunts a velvet-like cloak of dense pile, which especially adorns the thorax. Adults visit flowers for nectar, elegantly hovering and darting with precision, akin to their aviation kin. The larvae lead a markedly different existence, dwelling within the nests of solitary bees, wherein their early life is spent as cleptoparasites, surreptitiously consuming the provisions stored by their unwitting hosts.
Hemipenthes maura
Hemipenthes maura
Adorned with a dense covering of fur-like setae, hemipenthes maura exhibits a striking mimicry of bees, complete with an elongated proboscis suited for reaching the nectar within tubular blossoms. In early development, its larvae are parasitic, often found within the egg cases of grasshoppers, evolving into adults that serve as important pollinators in diverse ecosystems.
