Bombylius Major (Beefly)
This bee like insect
with stout hairy body
it`s long proboscis
seeking out some nectar
hovers over flowers
working hard to stay still
delicately veined wings
shimmering in the light
it`s ability to mimic
the humble bumble bee
is an amazing
feat of earth`s nature
with large compound eyes
helps it to see well
it`s long skinny legs
dangle while in flight
revealing that this bee
is a fly in disguise
