This hoverfly landed on my raincoat which made for an interesting shot.

Thanks for the ID!
Not a bee, but a species of hoverfly - looks like an Eristalis species.
Thanks JeniferNikole! I shoot with a Nikon D200 and for this photo I used my macro lens, a Nikon 105mm 1 : 2.8
Very good shot! What kind of lense do you use for these shots?
