Muchas gracias por la corrección, Juan. Como leí que se alimentan de néctar, la voy a agregar a la misión de Polinizadores.

Hola Daniela. Esta no es una mosca Syrphida, es de la familia Conopidae. Acá puedes ver un ejemplo http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C...

Thanks, John. I will change the tag and add this spotting to Flies!

This is not a wasp, it is some type of wasp-mimicking fly.
I am guessing it is a hover fly (Syrphidae).
