There's lots of "mimics" out there...
Now if we could only remove the mosquito from existence...
" Evolutionary biologists view mosquitoes as micro-predators, small animals that parasitise larger ones by drinking their blood without immediately killing them. Medical parasitologists view mosquitoes instead as vectors of disease, carrying protozoan parasites or bacterial or viral pathogens from one host to another."

I love all the little helpers in the garden. I've seen these little critters before. At first I did think it was a wasp, but I don't kill wasps either because they are pollinators too.

I am not sure I've ever heard of hoverflies before.

Me either. But I’m guessing I’ve mistaken a few for sweat bees. [en.wikipedia.org]
