Great placement on your subjects, especially the one in flight.
FWIW, these are actually two species of flies that mimic bees. The easiest giveaway is the head structure and the fact that they only have developed forewings. Their hindwings are present, but they are specially designed instruments for balance, not flying, and are called halteres.

Great timing indeed! Not easy to get them flying and in any kind of focus let alone how well you captured it.

I've never been able to capture one like this, and so far there have been two posted in the first two days of the side challenge! It's like you all are torturing me! Nice work here.
