A buzzing insect interjects a certain unease into someones demeanour. It makes them wary. If you have ever been stung by an angry bee you’ll be well aware why.
Some insects have apparel that makes them seem more ferocious than what they are; a long pointy rear end or a probing proboscis strikes up a fear of being injected!
Give an insect both these things and you have a recipe for a would be predator or assailant to take a step backwards. A Bee Fly is one such species. Completely benign and quite endearing really … it’s all buzz and no bite.
