Nose fly "Rhiniidae" This fly was so focused on the flower's nectar that didn't mind me photographing really close, These were the flowers that I've found the pink and white Crab Spider hunting the fly that I have posted earlier.

''Stomorhina lunata'' is a species of fly in the family Calliphoridae, often misidentified because of the unusual band pattern in the abdomen, typical of hoverflies. ''S. lunata'' is an important egg predator of some major African agricultural pests, the South African Brown locust, the more widespread Desert locust, and the migratory locust.
