mystery bee fly
One of the earliest insect visitors to the Styphelia blooms ... and a type of bee fly I've never seen before. The species identity remains a mystery, as we need the wings to stop moving to be able to tell one species from the other. But even at the genus level it's a relatively special sighting. There are currently just 15 sightings on iNaturalist ... well, 16 now.
