    The tiger bee fly, Xenox tigrinus, is an insect of the family Bombyliidae (bee flies) found in the eastern United States and southern Ontario. [1] It formerly went by the name Anthrax tigrinus. [2] The distinctive wing pattern may resemble tiger stripes, giving the tiger bee fly its name.

  3. Bombyliidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombyliidae

    Unlike butterflies, bee flies hold their proboscis straight, and cannot retract it. Many Bombyliidae superficially resemble bees and accordingly the prevalent common name for a member of the family is bee fly. [2] Possibly the resemblance is Batesian mimicry, affording the adults some protection from predators.

  4. Apocephalus borealis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocephalus_borealis

    Apocephalus borealis is a species of North American parasitoid phorid fly that attacks bumblebees, honey bees, and paper wasps.This parasitoid's genus Apocephalus is best known for the "decapitating flies" that attack a variety of ant species, though A. borealis attacks and alters the behavior of bees and wasps. [1]

  5. Physocephala tibialis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physocephala_tibialis

    P. tibialis flies parasitize many different species of bees by laying their eggs inside the abdomen of their host. [8] The larva hatches inside of the host and grows and develops until it takes up the majority of the host's abdomen. [9] [8] The host then dies and the larva envelopes itself in a puparium and pupates inside of the corpse. [10]

  6. Heterostylum robustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterostylum_robustum

    Bee flies begin to emerge about 10 days earlier than bees do, in the spring, and their period overlaps with bees by several weeks. [6] They tunnel to the surface and then immediately break and struggle out of the pupal skin, [ 6 ] which usually remains stuck to the ground and can sometimes be used to identify the presence of the parasites. [ 7 ]

  7. Anthrax (fly) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax_(fly)

    Anthrax is a genus of bombyliid flies, commonly known as "bee-flies" due to their resemblance to bees. Most are dull black flies, and are usually small to medium in size, 4–20 millimetres (0.2–0.8 in), and many species have striking wing patterns. [5] Anthrax is a very large genus.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melaloncha

    Melaloncha is a genus of phorid flies (Diptera: Phoridae) commonly referred to as "bee-killing flies". They are found almost exclusively in the Neotropical realm, although there is one record from extreme southern Texas, United States. [4] They are small flies, usually about 2–3 millimetres (0.08–0.12 in) in length.

  9. Mallophora bomboides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallophora_bomboides

    By appearing as bees, palatable flies gain protection from predators that recognize bees as noxious and therefore unappetizing. [7] Bateson argued with the counterexamples that Volucella females entered bumblebee nests belonging to species that they did not mimic and that a European species with similar habits actually benefited the host ...
