Today's Halloween costume review: "Sexy Bee Dude." This natty bee gentleman isn't a bee; with only 2 wings and incomplete venation, he's a syrphid fly for sure. As a mimic, he's likely just hoping to fool predators with his warning coloration and blue steel gaze.

@bug_gwen Do flies think bees think this is sexy? Their only use is helping the queen mate, and flies doing mimicry aren't even good for that. Maybe can be stored for food, depending on species.

@bug_gwen are these actually real, or somehow AI generated? Genuine question. Because I'm not sure who would even think up these costume ideas!

@Ruth_Mottram They are real.
