[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) Volucella bombylans female with extruded ovipositor (oviposition reaction) in a perti dish after presentation of bee odour extract ] From Expt 3 it cannot be determined whether females perceive the bee extracts on the filter paper using gustatory receptors on the tarsi, or olfactory receptors on the antennae. Volucella mexicana from North America is easily confused with the co-occurring carpenter bee Xylocopa tabaniformis, corresponding to it in size, form and the colouration of the body and wings; in addition, in its visits to Solanum flowers it shows the typical bee-like ‘buzzing’ (Jones & Little 1983). The use and significance of visual mimicry of Volucella females in the course of nest searching to the time spent by the flies in the area of the nest entrance are limited, since perception and effect of the colour pattern is not possible in view of the darkness of the nest tunnel and nest hole. www.nottingham.ac.uk /biology/biologyTest/gilbert/syrphweb/Rupp1989.doc   (21333 words)
