What is this?
It is some form of "bee fly" which are the Bombyliidae family of true flies (order Diptera) that look quite a lot like bees (actually in the order Hymenoptera) at first glance. I won't try to guess the species as there are a lot of them globally and you haven't said where you saw this, but some info on teh family here
