A Garden Look-alike

Three bees on the Alliums :


A Hoornaarzweefvlieg:


These monsters look like a type of hornet that we have here. I wonder if its likeness actually deters its enemies. It is actually a harmless hover fly.

 

Great pics @Sjoerd That hover fly does look like a suspicious character. I guess you can't judge a book by its cover. What a bright guy!

 

Thanks, Columbia. One must be careful in the garden. This imposter caught my eye.
