Not to be mistaken for a bee...Very friendly little flies that are harmless..All these little cuties want from you is your salty tasting skin, or the sugar from your apples or fruit. They are annoying, but harmless. (I love these things) Thanks Biff. =)

Many of your shots I would take with a swatter soon after shooting them Nessa. I admire your love for the insect world.
Another wonderful photo.

I always thought those were bees. We called them sweat bees, unless that is something completely different. Great close up photography, Nessa.

Another good close up insect photo. Good clarity and details in your shot of this un-hovering fly. Nice work.
