this insect was found flying about a patch of flowers in an open sunny area. there were honey bees, bumble bees and hornets feeding, but this insect just fly about like a wasp, never stopping on any flowers, but circling the flower bed repeatedly, until i was able to snag it in a net.
Has fly features, and looking thru BG...looks a bit like thevenetimyia (but this one has no "hairs" on the abdomen; or tachinids....? Any help from the experts?
