Aaron, you need to post the photos not post a link. Post a photo then point people to your flickr, but do not do it this way.

Aaron28 · 07-22-2015, 05:09 PM

ok thanks, will do

That does not look like a "horse fly." It looks like what is commonly called a "bee fly" (family Bombyliidae)

Thanks. I stand corrected. That is indeed a bee fly.

I disturbed two green butterflies sitting on top of a purple flower. The one on top gave me a look

Looks like a Fruit Fly to me, but that's as far as I can venture... Great shots (as usual)!

Here are a couple from the yard of a friend's rented chalet in Sutton, Québec, Canada.
