I don’t remember to be honest. This is a Tromboncino flower, which is fairly large. Based on the size of the insect and the size of the flower, I think the insect is too large to be a hover fly. I am no expert though.
Those are some cuties! The ones in the upper middle are especially honey bee-like. One sure fire way to ID is that only bees wear pollen pants (but not all bees are always wearing pollen pants).

As this is a place for enthusiasts of adorablility, not entomology, hover flies are allowed.
Thank goodness. I just grabbed this off Wikipedia and I have no hope with some of these:

Great!
Doh!
As I catch up on bee photos it will be interesting if someone identifies a well disguised hover fly.
