Hi again Daniel,
This image is of a species of Flower Fly, Family Syrphidae. The adults, pictured in your photo, are often seen hovering around flowers. They have a wasplike appearance because of the yellow and black stripes. They are beneficial. Adults eat pollen and the larvae will help keep your aphid population in check by feeding upon them.
