ONE OF THE BEE FLIES (Sparnopolius fulvus, Wied.)
"No butterfly or any other creature of the air could be more beautiful than this dream of early summer. The black velvet body, into which the sunlight sank and disappeared, the fringe of golden hairs along its sides, the steel gray, myriad-facet eyes of which its head was made, and the delicately formed wings, so thin that the light in passing through them was refracted into rainbow tints, made it seem to me more beautiful than almost any of those gorgeous forms of insect life which sometimes fill the clearings in Brazilian forests. It does seem strange that such a thing as this should live its other life a parasite grub within the larva of some caterpillar, or in the egg-case of some grasshoppers but so it seems to do. It spends its childhood as a disease, and its mating days as a dainty fly among the nectar-hearing flowers."
