Comment on Bee fly
Why would bat flies have no wings? Bats famously have wings!
bat flies, have evolved to cling to bat fur, they look like freaky spiders. apparently they are considered parasites on bats.
Oh, that’s fair. I just vaguely assumed they were called bat flies because someone once upon a time thought they looked kinda like the fly version of some sorts of bats, but obviously didn’t bother looking into that.
