Again I had some fun today! There was this one Rosa rugosa flower left after a frost a few nights ago. It was the center of attention for a Honey Bee and a Flower Fly (Syrphid Fly). Before this year I hadn't given the Flower Flies a second thought. Now I find them quite good looking and very interesting. These images were taken all manual, F/22; 1/200; ISO 400. If anyone can direct me to where I can find the species of the flower fly it would be greatly appreciated.

There are many people that know insects, one that comes to mind is Nikonian72, but there are many others.
