Description

Does anyone know, what these guys are called? I see them quite often these days. They hover in the air like a hummingbird. They are are rather cute I think.

If nobody hasn't named it properly yet (it definitely isn't a hummungbird hawk moth!) then I can tell it's the large bee fly, Bombylius major, a bee mimic :)
Very nice photo!
