Dark-edged Bee Fly


3 of these little chaps buzzing around the Honesty plants this afternoon. Not quite so enchanting as the hummingbird hawk moth, but pleased to see them anyway. They are not a bee at all and they do not bite or sting. However... they are parasitic on solitary bees so harmless unless you are a developing bee larvae.
