Semble être un éristale tenace, mais à confirmer
Not sure of the id, seems to be a common drone fly (eristalis tenax)
I don't remember seeing this insect before. Is anyone familiar with them? This year, they're all over the yard. They love to gather in close groups.
I was walking in Heartwood Forest in Sandridge and spotted this beautiful dragonfly hovering over a pond. I have tried to photograph dragonflies in flight before with no luck as they tend to dart about - hence the name I guess! On this occasion I got lucky.

Species of Eurydema are dramatically coloured, usually red and black bugs, but often with other colour morphs. The red and black form of this species can be distinguished from the smaller E. dominulus by the presence of dark marks along the edge of the corium. E. ornata also has a pale morph in which the ground colour is whitish-yellow.
Thank you for your visit, kind comments and fave. Always greatly appreciated.*_^

Panorpa nuptialis, a male. Zilker Botanical Garden, Austin. Male scorpion flies have scorpion-like tails. Neither flies nor scorpions, they belong to Mecoptera, an order of insects which dates back to the Permian. They have long, tube-like snouts with tiny jaws at the end. They feed on algae and detritus. Common here in the fall. They don't sting and are not in any way dangerous.

It is interesting to see the intricate details of a Dragonfly. You can't see this with the human eye unless you get really close, and even then it is not as detailed as the image of the dragonfly that I posted. I think you get a better appreciation of nature when you can see detail like this, that you don't see when they are flying around, or when they are landed on the ground, leaf, or another object.
