Look Closely!
At first glance, this insect could look like a bee or a wasp. If you look at the key characteristics, this insect is a syrphid fly! Note there is only one pair of wings, very small antennae, and it is not hairy like most bees. This syrphid fly was spotted on moon carrot, a Plant Select species at the CSU Trial Gardens (see below for the Plant of the Week).
