Here you see the comparison in size between the honey bee and the hornet mimic hoverfly. (The hover fly is to the left of the pic).
This was taken in our garden a few days ago.

Marvelous macro capture!!!!!!!
Great close-up and colours!
Fabulous macro thanks for sharing
Great shot! Good that it's a fly that doesn't sting!
Marvellous pic Jeff
nice one my friend
This is interesting too see, Jeff, and what a BIG eye that left one has. As I don't see the different such well I guess that big eye is the hoverfly, ;-). What I also like very much on this picture are the details of this flower, as we call it "Kogeldistel". (Echinops ritro in Latin, I don't know the English name for it.)
Terrific! Fine dining for all sorts.
Good grief! He's as large as that Tachinid fly I shot earlier this spring! Great shot to show the comparison in size!
He is huge my friend. Amazing capture my friend. God bless.
Nice closeup.

Peaceful co-existence. What a fabulous macro. Looks like you were almost touching them with the lens.
Excellent close-up Jeff. Fantastic details!
great comparison of critters
That is a huge difference in size Jeff and a most excellent capture!
A really wonderful close up of these two insects together in a lovely colored flower.
wow, perfect captured and pretty different size between them!
Yikes! I think that one requires a runway for landing!
Fantastic close up comparision shot...really quite impressive.
