Two queriesIs this the samething as desert globemallow? Just a question.
Second thought is maybe this is a robber fly or something similar?
Really an excellent photo (which I should have said first.)

Re: Two queriesYep, the flower is also known as globe mallow. When I was learning to identify desert wildflowers, the cheat sheet I had called it desert mallow. The scientific name is Sphaeralcea ambigua.
The insect could be a robber fly; I know some varities resemble bees. But I think it was a bee.
Thanks for the compliment!
