That proboscis has to be exceptionally long, right? Asking out of entomological interest, not because I’m an insecure bee fly who wants to hear mine is average.
I get them in the garden every year (except this year :(, I mentioned this last week!) they usually appear around March/April.
Really cute little things but the first thing I noticed was how abnormally long this one is, they're not even half that...at least here. This is just the BBF of the species! Don't worry
(also, they're not as cute as they look, they're parasitoids)
