# Accidentally startled this lil cutie when cutting off my Cosmos’s…

_Postat av KOSMiKiNG den 2026-01-19_

Accidentally startled this lil cutie when cutting off my Cosmos’s (KOZZY is their names) withering flowers. He/she/they/idk shot up, hovering above my flowers heads, as we locked eye contact for a moment, and for that moment I apologized and reassured there is no harm here. It shot daggers at me for a bit longer before resuming its business. \& thanks to the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s camera quality I got these HQ images!

Hover-fly says Chatgpt, the fanciest fly i’ve ever seen. Dresses like a helpful bee or one of those hatin ass wasps, and maneuvers like the coolest of dragonflies!

Welcome back anytime 😎🐝🌸

People in my area complain about hover flies (or "sweat bees" because they'll land on you when you're sweaty and steal ya minerals) but I think they're adorable. Great photos!

Complaining about a creature the size of a bead of sweat bothering you is diabolical lol “kim there are people that are dying” 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ \& thank you! iPhone camera quaility is on another level!

Also found this little guy on my sugar cane today, Aphid Lion Chatgpt says doing the lords work and taking down the aphid invaders 🙌🏼🙌🏼
