Bee Flys i think ?:/

No, they're hover flys. I googled them and found this extract for your info

"...adult flies are perhaps best known for their mimicry of various wasps and bees. Although quite harmless, they no doubt get some protection from would be predators, like birds, by copying the bold yellow and black warning colours of their genuine stinging models. An obvious question for most people is how to distinguish between a hover-fly and a wasp or bee? This can prove difficult without some knowledge of insect behaviour and morphology, but perhaps the most obvious difference (if you can get close enough!) is that hover-flies, like all Diptera, have only one pair of wings, whereas wasps and bees have two pairs. Aphid-eating hover-fly larvae are rather flattened, legless and maggot-like. Most are greenish or brownish in colour and well camouflaged, and largely go unnoticed as they crawl over foliage in search of their aphid prey."

They are goodies in the garden! :-)

BIG HUG coming@u Sid :) Thanx for looking`m up4 me :)

Ah, shux...

So hover flies only have 1 pair of wings!! Didn't know that :-)

I think the larva sound absolutely delightful - "...rather flattened, legless and maggot-like". x-D
