    Not really, but (as a wild guess) it may be one of the 'hunter' type wasps, in which case don't get in its way, because it may be hunting things you want rid of, but probably cn still sting.
    Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

        Did it look like the first picture ? There are a few hoverflies that resemble wasps.
