Hoverfly At Work

I believe this is a hoverfly... I used to think they were bees. Hoverflies seem to be more patient with the camera - in other words, they don't care if you're shoving a lens in their face, they only pay attention to the flower. Bees are a little flightier. At least, that's what my experience was like today.

The flower is a purple cone flower.
