Syrphid Fly - Spilomyia longicornis
This delightfully colored wasp mimic is actually a fly in the
family Syrphidae.
Like all true flies, this creature has only
two wings and no stinger. It has one of the loudest flying
buzzes I've ever heard- you can hear them coming 50 feet away,
it seems.

Illinois, USA.
