You are a reverse victim of mimicry. This is the order many Syrphdiae mimic. I think tribe Bembicini (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae). Is the area sandy? The tribe nests in sand. |

Thank you John and Ectemnius for your reactions to this fly! John, the area may be sandy, but there were many of these flowers. Regards, Hedy |
