Bombyliidae - Paravilla cinerea Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA April 27, 2008 Size: BL ~ 9.5 mm
This beefly was on Viguiera parishii at Sentenac Canyon--also went to Brittlebush. It has an elongate appearance compared to most. I'd especially like to identify this fly because we saw the same species flinging eggs into a bee burrow.
