This little hoverfly had competition for a feeding spot. It would no sooner settle than some black bees would zoom in and chase it off. It was a bit of dine and dash!
I'm so sorry this is so late (i've been kind of away for a few days and kind of forgot too) but I am your very late get pushed partner!
So a really quick challenge is in order. How about capture some light (of any kind)?
Oh this lovely photo looks like it might be a bee fly! They do lay their eggs in the nests of solitary bees (many of which are black) so that might be why they were chasing it!
