Progressive Bee Fly

Progressive Bee Fly

 This insect is smaller than a honey bee.  It has the eyes of a fly and the abdomen of a bee.

I don't know if you can see it or not, but it is covered with pollen.  (Click to enlarge)  It is feeding on the bloom of the tall sunflower.

Photographically, I have noticed that yellow is difficult to expose because the RGB histogram on the camera does not show it as over exposed.  I don't find it until home on the computer.  I am trying to under expose it by two stops to compensate.  That seems pretty close.

I like the tall sunflower, though I find blooms at my eye level hard to fine.  Some interesting insects visit it.
