Bugs
Hoverfly - often called flower flies or syrphid flies
They like flowers - good pollinators but they can cause a nasty disease (Myiasis). Rare in America but still found in the subtropics - where I live. Rare - remember that. I still check my dogs and myself after I see one. Look for mosquito bites. Hoverflies don't bite but they lay eggs on mosquitoes - which then transfer them to humans through their bites. Again - rare.
They have big eyes that take up most of the face.
They come in different patterns. Only one pattern here as only one Hoverfly.
Side view
They aren't unattractive - for flies.
That little black thing at the mouth? Yeah - its tongue.
Fiery Skipper - butterfly, family Hesperiidae
Kind of floats like a ghost
