Hi danangarif and welcome to Project Noah. I think Juan is right. The type of fly you have here is from the family Syrphidae and it mimics bees for protection. Therefore, predators think the fly is a dangerous bee and they don't want to be stung.
thank you Juan DiTrani ,,, this looks like a bee,,,.so i think its a bee
Hi danangarif.h. This is not a bee, is a fly
