    From Ant@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 3 11:13:29 2015
    It is a bee fly. Bombyliidae

    Look up the family Syrphidae in the order Diptera, hover flies. That's
    what this looks like.

    Thanks. :)

    Quote of the Week: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst
    the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He, therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that
    tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set
    on fire. Allah sent him a revelation: 'Wouldn't it have been sufficient
    to burn a single ant (that bit you)?'" --Translation of Sahih Bukhari,
    Book 54, Number 536
