Flower flies love poppies too

Moments before I took this photo, this flower fly tried to chase away a yellow-faced bumble bee from the California alba poppy.

But the yellow-faced bumble bee triumphed and got to the pollen first.

As soon as the bumble bee flew to another area of the garden, the flower fly had its chance in the poppy.
