Milesia virginiensis

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

Melesia Spp.
Believe this to be Milesia virginiensis with some variation in abdominal banding patterns
Milesia virginiensis
Auburn, Alabama
These flies resemble hornets.
In the south, this fly is sometimes called the "Good News Bee"
for its habit of hovering in front of a person or object.
