FLY MIMICKING A BEE  - Eristalis tenax

FLY MIMICKING A BEE - Eristalis tenax
Greenville, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA
August 5, 2009
Size: ~ ⅝"
I'm pretty sure this is the same fly as the picture I posted a few days ago. I'm going to post that photo again, but separate from these three, as it was taken hours before this trio of one fly.
I recall learning that you can't post photos together that were not taken at the same time. Because of the time between the one and the three photos of one, I'm posting them separately. I hope my Remarks make sense!
