I am not sure of the name of the insect. Its six legged fly

Very sharp on the subject.

Fine shot! Around here that type is not prone to sting often, but we do have some similar ones that are highly aggressive. I'll try to shoot one, but it is hard to get too close, they will attack on sight!
Regards!

In that case be very careful.
