A cute little flower fly.
Flower flies are a diverse group of insects that play an important role in pollination and often go unnoticed compared to bees.

Syrphid Flies, Hover Flies or Flower Flies, whatever you call them they are my favorite flies. Beautiful, beneficial bugs that eat aphids as larvae, and only pollen and nectar as adults.
Here's one on our Licorice Goldenrod.
