Oh Doryreed....I actually thought about consulting you BEFORE posting this one!! I looked online (google images at Hoverflies) and thought because he was "fuzzy" that he WAS a Bee....but, picked Hoverfly because of only two wings - funny stuff! I am NO good at ID'ing insects....Thanks for your help! I will change it now! *_*

This is a bee not a fly. You can tell by the length of the antennae and the mouthparts. :)
