It looks like a cross between a bee and a fly. It took some digging to find the name. This colorful insect that I found on the Buddleia bush this morning is a Flower Fly and harmless. It's about the size of a Honey Bee. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20200806-P8062866.JPG.html -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
