Cool hoverfly! You can tell it's fly not a bee from the shape of the eye, stubby little antennae and mouth parts. Also bees have four wing not two, but that is hard to spot because of the way the fold them over each other. Great bee mimic though.
No problem. I've mislabeled many bugs, and always appreciate when someone corrects me. Just trying to pay it forward. Learning and sharing what I've learned is half the fun.
His lens is in love with yours.

Thank you so much. I could never tell. It had yellow stripes and just assumed it was some kind of bee. A strange one I thought:)
