Making believe
This Syrphid fly (Helophilus sp) masquerades as a wasp in order to escape its predators' attention. Many fly species use this kind of camouflage to improve their chances of survival in a often hostile environment, although this description hardly seems to befit this inviting patch of forget-me-not flowers.
