Cerastipsocus venosus ~ Bark lice This last few weeks, I’ve been fairly busy photographing insects and trying to deal with all of the camera downloading, image sorting, backing up of drives, etc… that is associated with digital images.

fabulous fakes

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

While hiking at the Baxter Conservation Area on Saturday, I photographed these two bee mimic flies (click on all images for larger view). I had hoped to have an ID for the fly in the top image, but so far, I haven’t found anything quite the same. However, I decided to post the photo in […]
