Here is one of my most interesting characters in the garden. It's a Robberfly, although I don't recall which one off hand (Janet ID'd it). I'll have to get back on the name. He kind of looks like a bee on first glance but he's never looking for pollen or nectar, he's looking for other insects. I call this one 'Thug'. He can be found lurking around the flowering plants, waiting for his next victim.

Your robberfly looks like it's wearing Louis Vuitton sunglasses.
