Look, Its a …
I don’t really know my way around insect identification since plants were more of a fascination to me growing up. But the wonder of creation has always been my fascination and once you embrace a camera, wonder expands.
I captured this fly, or is it a bee, or maybe a wasp, on Rattlesnake Master at the end of July. Its full of wonder. The prairie in full bloom is a array of wonder. I’m inclined to think its a fly. Eventually I’ll sort it all out, but until then I can behold it’s wonder.

Maybe a hybrid 🙂 ? Beautiful capture!
Thank you. If it’s a hybrid, then it becomes a real curiosity 🙂
It looks like a little bit of all. But so beautiful.
Sounds like a compliment to all:)
I would say fly. Great photo!
Thank you Pete!
I think fly, too. An unusual one!
Some of these unique creatures I wonder if I will ever notice again!
Each class of insects has easy identifying marks that once you learn them can help narrow down IDing them. Flies, beetles, wasps, true bugs, etc. BugGuide.net I find helpful.
I would say fly too, but I’m not sure why. Maybe the eyes? Anyway, it is a great capture!
Looks like the Creator put this one together with some spare parts from bees,wasps and flies.
Spare parts…I like that. A good designer uses proven features don’t you think ?:)
Yes.
