You have captured this very well TC as I know they are never still for one moment and so are difficult to get pictures of. I love the wing action in these.

I agree on the wing action - very cool!

And whatever it is I hope it keeps that long, pointy, sharp- looking thing away from my body!

Wouldnt say its your typical fly unless that flower smells like poo.. lol.

Great shots.

I like the angle of the second shot. The wing action is great too.

It's a fly...a bee would have pincer-like mouth parts. I'd say the stripes are a defense mechanism to make you think it's a bee...
