Lookalike - _TNY_6410
The Temnostoma vespiforme hoverfly is one of the more convincing wasp mimics. They even mimic the erratic flight patterns of wasps and when they feel threatened they hold their front pair of legs in front of the head to make it look like the wasps antennae (which is why the front pair is black unlike the other two pairs).
