I've noticed this little fella for years now and he's a cute one. Maybe 6-8 mm long. His abdomen is flattened. He hovers somewhat like a dragonfly or hummingbird. And most peculiarly, he doesn't seem to distinguish between your hand and another object to take a break on. I noticed this one day and sometime later I was sitting with friends on their back deck and saw this guy flitting around the table. I said, "hey, watch this..." held out my hand and he zoomed right over and sat on it. It couldn't have been more perfect. Like a magic trick. Like I had a pet bee.

What's his name?
