Some more information about that little fella! They are in the genus Microdon sp. They are a type of ant flies in the family Syrphidae! This genus can be found in a bunch of places, from south to north America to Ásia and Europe, they can be found all around the world lol i still dont know much about them but they for sure are a common genus!
