Large bee fly (Bombylius major, family Bombyliidae) on the ground basking in the spring sunshine. Mid-April 2009 in Japan. This species is pretty good at aerial refuelling (hovering beside a flower to slurp nectar like a hummingbird or a hawkmoth) with the long proboscis. For examples, please check out the following links;

休み無く飛びながら花の蜜を吸うことでお馴染みのビロードツリアブですが、こうして地上に降りて休むこともあるんですね。
