Family MYDAIDiE. 



The "midas flies," resemble the preceding in form and are, like them, pre- 

 datory. They are much larger, however, with contrasting black and orange 

 colors, the antennae being long and clubbed at tip. They are practically unim- 

 portant.

Family BOMBYLIIDiE. 



These are the "bee-flies" which derive their common name from the fact 

 that they are more or less covered with dense, diverging whitish or yellow 

 hair, giving them a close resemblance to certain bees. Many occur, hovering 

 over bare places in early spring, others are found on flowers, often poised in 

 midair between or over them. One series resembles the bumble-bees and has a 

 long pointed proboscis ; the other is more slender, the abdomen tending to 

 become flattened with a short proboscis and much less contrasting colors.
