i always see them in summer, not bees or wasps, i call them hover flies...LOL

This shot was taken on July 5th and they hardly EVER landed on anything! They would just hang out around flowers. They were way too small to focus on in the air (plus their movement was erractic) so I had to wait for one to finally land.

Hi. Indeed they are wasps, Sean. Silly me. I posted these photos first before I tried to search what they really are. I guess I just got too excited to post them.


The first is a photo of paper wasps. The second, I'm not so sure what kind of wasp or it can be a hornet or some sort.


@ Mark: That looks like a fly to me except that it's colorful than the ordinary fly I am used to seeing but I think the red eyes give it away.
