Douglass spotted this fly on a flower. When I looked, at first glance, I thought it was a small Bumble Bee......ok, ok, maybe not that big, but really big for a fly ;)

"A calypter is either of two posterior lobes of the posterior margin of the forewing of flies between the extreme posterior wing base and the alula, which covers the halteres." per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calypter
