Yellowjacket Hoverfly
Milesia virginiensis

Field Notes
Description:
This mimic hovers in mid-air, making a truly terrifying buzzing noise. It's actually harmless. Known colloquially as a "good news bee." Supposedly when it hangs there, it's bringing the news. Probably helps if you can speak Fly.
Habitat:
Common in my garden. Not a great deal is known about them, but they are believed to nectar on titi and Rattlesnake Master.
Notes:
I see them frequently, but heck if I can tell what they're eating.
