Thanks Mike, I thought he was a bee until a bee expert friend of mine told me what he really was :)

I had no idea there was such a creature. How interesting. He certainly has a good disguise.

Fantastic capture, Jo! We have no bees, and no flowers in the yard yet!

That's a great shot of the hoverfly! It does resemble a bee. My bee has pollens on its legs. Will post on that someday.
