bdspider Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 A drone fly? Or a male honey bee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip™ Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Yeah looks like a common Drone fly (Eristalis tenax). If you saw it flying it usually "hovers" among flowers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
