It is a Hoverfly, so called because it can be seen hovering or nectaring at flowers. Some people called these insects Flower Flies or Syrphid Flies as they belong to a family of insects called Syrphidae. Although they look like a bee or wasp, that is only to ward off predators. They are totally harmless to humans. | « February 2016 | April 2016 » | Bug of the Month Archives | Dereila Nature Inn Home > Woodlands Pathway > The Bug World > Bug of the Month top
