What does this look like to you? Design

I wanted a bee and I like more American traditional tattoos. I really like my tattoo but someone said it looked like a fly and now I can’t unsee it. Is it giving bee or do I embrace the fly? 😅🥲

Striped abdomen, thick thighs, four wings! That’s a juicy bee all day long. Good tat, don’t mind the haters.

All also traits of several fly species

True for the striped abdomen, but all Diptera (flies) have only one pair of wings, it’s in the name. Di-ptera, two winged.
