Hi Hannah,

Thanks for your confirmation of the coneflower. Appreciate it.

I tries to send you an email and got spam blocked.

BTW - I loved the baby grasshoppers. Well done!
Thx.

Female Hoverfly
This looks like a female in the Hoverfly (Syrphidae) family. Take a look at an image of Eristalis transversa here: http://www.giffbeaton.com/2003-07-04_LakeWinfieldScott.jpg
