Hmm...
I've never heard of a microhoverfly. This is a wasp, and looks (to me) to be something in
Pemphredonini
.
Hold on to see what others think.
In the meantime, please click on "edit" and fix the sighting date. The system didn't like something about the way the date was entered, and is displaying the default date of December 31, 1969. You'll want to fix the date on your bee image, too.
Thanks--and welcome to BugGuide!
