Hoverfly (flower fly), likely a wasp-mimicking species

Gardens, meadows, woodland edges, and other places with flowering plants; commonly rests on foliage, windows, and vehicles.

Adults feed mainly on nectar and pollen. Larvae vary by genus, eating aphids, decaying organic matter, or occasionally other small invertebrates.

Often hover motionless, make rapid short flights, and bask in sunny locations. Their yellow-and-black coloration mimics stinging wasps, but they have one pair of wings and are harmless.

No sting and generally no threat to people. Adults are important pollinators, while many larvae provide biological control by consuming aphids and other pests.
