It's a bee fly or a flying bee ? hmm.. :-) I need to confess I know very little unfortunately when it comes to nature, even tough I'm such an outdoor guy. According to your description, this probably is a fly which looks like a bee, right ? We have some of them here in switzerland as well. But need to google it. You see, you make me learn a lot about nature. Very nicely captured, Christine. V
