Author's comments:
Una "nube" de estos insectos estuvo hace unos días en Rosario, y hoy pasaron por mi ciudad.
Se alimentan de néctar de las flores, y son inofensivas (y beneficiosas). El cuerpo puede tener una sustancia ácida, por eso hay cierto ardor si se lo aplasta sobre el cuerpo. (Info: entomólogo Guillermo Montero)
