Description
A fly that "dresses like a wasp"
Hoverflies, sometimes called flower flies, or syrphid flies
They are unusual . Its larvae are often found in some anthills, probably to feed on the aphids they rear. (Wikipedia)
Syrphe, peu commune . On retrouve souvent ses larves dans certaines fourmilières, probablement pour se nourrir des pucerons qu'elles élèvent

Ce diptère est très impressionnant avec ses couleurs très contrastées et ses gros yeux, les détails sont superbes, et l'environnement aux couleurs douces le met bien en valeur.......magnifique macro, Jean-Claude !

Excellent macro of this little beauty...I have been on the lookout for insects in my area---nothing. No crawlies, no flies, nothing. I don't know what birds are eating...very concerning to say the least.

Great capture of this unusual critter! I would still flinch if it flew near, I have met a real wasp before...

"They are unusual" I never seen one in my live so I only can agree. In what enviroment did you find this one. Field, bush?

I found this one by the side of a path in the countryside.
