Visual Description
Aphoebantus borealis is a species of bee fly within the family Bombyliidae. Observations of specimens in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal characteristic features of the genus, including a robust, somewhat hairy body typical of many bee flies.[1] The body exhibits a dense covering of setae, and the wings are often held in a characteristic position when at rest. The coloration typically includes patterns of brown, black, and sometimes lighter, yellowish or whitish hairs, which provide a degree of camouflage.[1]
