Creature feature: This is a bee eater
Who are you calling ugly?
Here is a photo of a vicious, ugly thing that I caught eating one of the bumble bees at the studio field near Beach City.
I've looked on the web to try and identify it but haven't seen anything close. The
assassin bug
isn't as big as this creature. -- Marilyn L.
Update:
Master Naturalist Emmeline D. quickly identified this as a
robber fly.
