Episyrphus balteatus
This is a macro experimental

Flies in the Diptera family Syrphidae are commonly known as flower flies, hoverflies, or Syrphid flies.
Many Syrphids mimic bees or wasps in appearance. It is thought that this mimicry protects hover flies from falling prey to birds and other insectivores which avoid eating true wasps because of their sting. However a flower fly and a wasp can be distinguished by counting the wings. The flies have two wings, and the wasps and bees have four.

The title is well chosen. It really does. The quality of this picture is just tremendous, I'd gladly learn from you. To do so remotely, let me add you to my favourites.
