@MadeMeSmile Sorry, but I cannot find any reference to a Japanese Bee Fly on Wikipedia.
Do you have a link to a naturalist or scientific website that describes the species?
@sohkamyung Oh look, this post is 4 years old, maybe it's not AI after all:
Yes, I found the same source on Wikipedia.
I don't post AI and I always confirm authenticity before posting. 🤗
@MadeMeSmile @sohkamyung That's good to know. Maybe you should add that to your profile?
Come to think of it, anyone can say "I don't post AI and verify everything before I post". What would really help to reassure people is if you added links to sources, either for the pictures you post or for the research you've done. Or even both. That way, people can independently verify it and don't have to spend time finding the same stuff you did.
That's a good idea! This one is an older post but with newer ones I always try to add source.
I will add the info on my profile though, thanks!
@scy Ah. That Reddit post references this article in the Journal of Geek Studies [ https://jgeekstudies.org/2018/10/12/entomological-diversity-of-pokemon/ ], which features a photo of this particular bee fly, Anastoechus nitidulus.
So, I also consider it to be legitimate. 🙂
