Description
English: Description: Sicus ferrugineus. There is no english translation for this species, maybe you can say thick-headed fly. It places its eggs onto the bumblebee's torso, then the bumblebee carries the egg to its hive and the fly larvae feed upon the inventory.
Français : Description: Sicus ferrugineus, une mouche de la famille des Conopidae. Cette mouche pond ses oeufs sur le dos de bourdons. Après éclosion, les larves se nourrissent aux dépens de la colonie.
Deutsch: Beschreibung: Gemeine Breitstirnblasenkopffliege (Sicus ferrugineus), kein engl. Name. Sicus ferrugineus gehört zu den mittelgroßen Arten. Interessant ist neben ihrem interessanten Aussehen vor allem ihre Fortpflanzungsmethode. Mit akrobatischer Flugleistung heftet das Weibchen ihr Ei am Hinterleib von Stein- oder Erdhummeln fest. Die ahnungslose Hummel trägt das Ei in ihr Nest. Dort ernährt sich die schlüpfende Dickkopffliegenlarve von den Vorräten und Larven des Hummelvolkes. Auch die Verpuppung findet schließlich im Hummelnest statt.
