This is a Flower Fly. It's also a Hover Fly. I would never have guessed that, when I was taking the pic. The Hover Flies I usually see are tiny. This insect was big like a small bee. I knew the eyes looked like a fly, but it still took a lot of searching to identify it. I didn't have to search for the flower name. This is a wild Black-Eyed Susan.
Thank you so much for your nice comments on yesterday's chrysalis and caterpillar! I'm still trying to catch up on my commenting. :0)
