Hello, I was wondering if you could help me identify this strange and unusual friend that was visiting my cosmos a few weeks ago. I hope the pictures are clear enough. Found in Houston, TX.

Fly ID - SE TX, USA:

Oh yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, this is a hoverfly, called Oblique Streaktail (Allograpta obliqua), family Syrphidae. Hoverflies that visit and pollinate flowers, as a group, are often called Flowerflies, as well.
