strange looking bugs... we dont get them over here (though if they like thistles, which is what im guessing the flower is, they should come, this contries full of them)

great shot

I've seen these guys! In Maine(US) I used to get nervous around them because I hate bees and their buzz sounds more similar to a GIANT bee than a hummingbird. Nice capture. They're very fast!
