# Title Bee Fly (B. fraudulentus) Description A Bee Fly (Bombylius fraudulentus) gathers sand with her psammophore, the abdominal chamber into which she lays eggs prior to dispersal. According to Bee Fly expert Andy Calderwood, the sand and eggs stick together, making the eggs heavier and therefore more suitable for accurate dispersal.
