Hey guys... I need you bug people's help again. :p

This little guy looks like a honeybee, but as you can see it 'aint. What is it? This shot was taken with a 10-22 EF-S wide angle. I was at a POTN meet in Virginia to take pictures of FLOWERS, and ended up with this extrovert in the way. ;)

I don't have a macro lens yet, but if I keep on taken all these bug pictures...I think I need to get one! Thanks.

You#re right, it's not a bee. It's a hoverfly and belongs to the family of the flies. Maybe a Eristalis Arbustorum but I'm not sure.
