Mum's the Word of the Day
I didn't have time to do a bug walk today, so I just spent a couple of minutes around the chrysanthemums. Even though we had a freeze again last night, there were a lot of bugs on the flowers, probably the most I have seen so far. It was mostly flies, but there was a bee and a wasp, too.

Bee mimics are the predominant visitors to the mums. Way more mimics than actual bees. This one does a very good bee impersonation.
Wasp

Bumblebee
I'm not just showing the same fly over and over (though I probably did get it more than once). There were several of these.
The bee is covered with pollen.
Wasp and hoverfly
