From yesterday. I think it’s a Systoechus candidulus. If I’m wrong there, I’m pretty sure it’s a member of the Bombyliidae family.
Failing that, I’m stinkin’ sure it’s a pollinator. Look at its tongue.
Bonus – Pollinating Fly on Rock Cress
A new bee…every day

I also just got a couple super cool pictures of one of these too where I live in Switzerland
They aren’t bees, but flies (look at those eyes! Cool), masked to look like bumble bees. Their larvae actually eat the larvae of solitary bees.
Definitely in the Bombyliidae family.
