I'm not sure if it is or not - there are many types of hoverflies. I have yellow jacket hoverflies here that look similar, but I don't think they're exactly the same. Yellow jacket hoverflies nectar on flowers.

Very interesting, and pretty. I don't think we have those here. There are a lot of hoverflies. We have large, glossy, blue-black insects here that I think are hoverflies too, and a variety of yellow-and-black ones. They're not fuzzy, like bees, though.
