Day 818 Female Hover Fly, Allograpta obliqua

While trimming the fruit tree I thought why not photograph the sun coming through the leaves. Sounds nice but the reality was, no good photos. I meandered over to the ugly bushes and saw this critter. I don't know if it is a fly disguised as a dangerous thing, or if it is some type of tiny bee, or if it is some sort of tiny wasp, but whatever it is it was tiny and darted fast. I am amazed I have this shot as I am really really close with my camera and this creature was not cooperative. It is a fast bugger.
After a bit of research I have learned it is in fact a female Hover Fly.
