Aposematic Fly
I think this is a fly. It has yellow-jacket aposematic markings. (That's my new dollar word-of-the-day.) It is covered in pollen from a Chinese Lilac bush. The photo was taken with the macro lens 6-12-05 7pm.

I'm still getting used to the software, so pardon the rough edges. The Aposematic Fly was taken with the FUJIFILM FinePix S5000, 1/420s, focal length 19mm, f/3.2, ISO 200.
It seems silly to be the only one posting here, but I think I found out what this fly is: Common Hover Fly or Melangyna viridiceps. An aphid-eater, yea!
The pictures at this link seem to bear a striking resemblance.
