Mystery Insect

When I was out shooting photos today I thought this was a native bee but when I viewed the image on the computer it looked more like a type of fly. I tried to identify it online with no success so any help identifying this mystery insect would be very much appreciated.

Really nice detail.

Glad you were using a 105 lens. My 60mm would pit me uncomfortably too close!

[Lou Ann]

Well, that's something! It looks like a bee and a fly. I bet the Bexar County Entomologist would love to take a closer look!

[Day Law]

Wow-- great close-up!

[Connie Little]

No idea what it is but that is great closeup. Amazing detail, down to the pollen on the legs.

[Dinah Pinkston]

All insects look the same to me, so I have no idea what this is ...but it is a wonderful close-up with beautiful detail! I especially like the insect's glimmery wings.

Excellent macro, details...no idea what it could be :)

[Sharon]

Love the details in the wings. Nice job

[Taffy]

Fantastic closeup and great to have the bee/bug set off by the bright yellow.

[CC Folk]

Interesting...it looks like a fly in the front and a bee from behind! Maybe you have discovered a new species!!! :)

[Valerie Chesney]

Those gossamer wings & pollen laden legs are brilliant, as is the whole shot. Fav

[Issi Bannerman]

Can't help on the identification, but it's a very cool capture!

[Sarah]

Sorry can't help but it is a great shot

[Dione Giorgio]

Strange but an amazing macro shot. Fav.

[Jenfurj]

Fabulous. I would of thought a bee. The detail is so clear. The eyes are massive. Fav

[Henri Russell]

It is an interesting insect. Looks like a bee and a fly. Maybe it is a crossbreed. Great close up.

[Margaret Brown]

Well caught, a lovely macro, fav

[Catherine P]

Incredible macro

[Lockarec]

Wonderful macro. Maybe @hunnybee knows?

[Tunia McClure]

Its collecting pollen so that puts it in the bee family. Just a guess.

[amyK]

Great macro, super details

[Sandy]

I don't know. I just assumed it was a skinny bee. Great detail.
