Mimic

I took this photo yesterday of a mimic. It looks like a bee, but it isn't a bee. I have noticed that bees become irritable around other insects, but not around the mimics. This is an Ischiodon aegyptius, which is common in Africa. You may click on the image to enlarge.

POSTSCRIPT: Here's the real thing, the bee.
