From a distance not far, I saw it standing on a leaf, and with a very calm attitude. The first time I thought it was a bee, but by watching it longer, I began to doubt if it was a bee ... yes although somewhat cautiously, finally, I approached it. And there, I can tell if it is not a bee. The color and size of the body resemble a bee ... but it's not a bee.

So what is it?

Not long after searching, I believe it was a [Hoverfly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoverfly), an insect belonging to the Syrphidae.

Hoverfly feed on the flower nectar. It has a slow flying style over flowers, like floats.

But that's not all about the uniqueness of this insect, it also has a black and yellow body color pattern.  It turned out that the color of the body so profitable, not only insect predators, I was also fooled, and I had thought it was a bee. It looks like a dangerous insect, but it really does not sting. A pretty good imitator!
