Syrphid Fly (?)

NealAddy

Some type of Syrphid (I think).

For scale, the flower is about the size of a penny.

Lovely capture- yes a hoverfly- think it's Toxomerus species

I'm going with Toxomerus marginatus.

BugGuide.net rocks! Thanks for the tip.

It looks like the whole insect is tack sharp. Great job. I consider it a success if only the eyes are sharp. The eyes are great aren't they? The aliens have landed.
