Do you guys like drone flies? They look like bees, but they’re actually flies and they don’t have a stinger! A vast majority of them are pollinators and super important for the ecosystem. This one was just too pretty for me not to take a picture <3

The flower is a species of European ivy (genus Hedera)

Found this little guy in the pond I was cleaning out for summer. It seems it's likely a drone fly larvae! They're cute little flies that look like bees and do pollinator work! They're VERY soft bodied and that tail is also soft, and used to breathe in low-oxygen environments- like my bird pen pond after the filter had been turned off for winter! Absolutely wild creature, I'm happy to have learned something new today!
