I couldn't find these guys in the one regional Audubon field guide my family had, and the internet was nowhere near as expansive as it is now (and with dial-up, researching as a lot more time-intensive, especially if you weren't sure where to start). So these bugs were a mystery to me, a fuzzy, mosquito-nosed mystery for many years. It wasn't until I befriended someone with a lot of bug knowledge towards the end of undergrad that I finally learned that these were bee flies. A name that suits them well, but I also like what I had come up with as a kid: "Hummingbird-Bees"
