I like that there are more and more spottings of the same species in ProjectNoah, makes it easier to identify. It's a pretty impressive catalogue already :)

I think this may be the the same as your spotting. Found it earlier. :) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6794205 Probably a wooly carder bee.
