Chickory & bug

I am not sure what the bug is, a kind of wasp perhaps? Thank you Ben for the ID, it is a Syrphid Fly...... I liked the rainbow colours on the wings, and I love the colour of the flower and the cute curly stamens.

Cool shot, love those wings. I was going to suggest a hover fly of sorts but you have your answer already.
