Eristalis tenax - Dronefly - Mistbiene - Blinde Bij
France, Fontainebleau, August 2010
Thanks to Mark Billiau for the ID of this insect.
Eristalis is a large genus of hoverflies.
One of the more common species in the genus, Eristalis tenax,
is also known as the dronefly, because it bears a superficial resemblance to honeybee drones.
