Look, a hornet! Or is it?
Batesian mimcry is when a harmless species evolves to look like one that’s well defended. This fly cannot sting, but its appearance might scare away a predator.

BREAKING: #CDC reports it has confirmed that a child in California tested positive for #H5N1. The child had no known exposures to infected animals or poultry. The child had mild illness and is recovering.
I discuss in this video what cases like this mean, and why they are a bit unsettling.
