Mantises, wasps, moths, caterpillars, frogs--even roaches --all a little slice of heaven to just watch & observe. How could any human being NOT be fascinated? Robin, I think your little fly is some kind of Robber or syrphid, but there's so many varieties. Here's a few critters from my gardens -sorry not all in focus :

Great Golden Digger Wasp on Monarda punctata- Interesting short article about them ----> http://davesgarden.com/guides/...

Silver-spotted Skipper butterfly

Cuckoo wasp, this one predominately blue instead of the usual green.

Long-haired, toothless, egg-eating little pest that got into my kitchen overnight! LOL

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
