I think this is a kind of wildbees... but maybe it`s a kind of wasps. I would enjoy if somebody knows more.

This spectacular critter showed up at the mistflowers with the flies, bees and butterflies. I had no idea what it was - it's pretty striking, with the bright colors and long feathered legs. The Seek app on iOS immediately came up with Texas wasp moth, Horama panthalon, texana subspecies. Fortunately, it was in no hurry working the flowers, so I had time for quite a few shots. A great surprise in the garden...it's beautiful!
Another example of mimicry in the insect world - fascinating...
This small geranium blossom holds a tiny world of insects. At first I did not see the spider
because the color of the flower camouflages it. It appears they are engaged in a battle.
Late in the year, but the number of insects still around was surprising. The weather was relatively mild before frosts set in.
I don't know what kind of insect that is. Like a mosquito but bigger, like a fly but just sitting :-D

Weevils are one of my favorite photography subjects. They look so cool. Photographed in Maryland.
