Thanks, Moose.  The lens surprised me.  I haven't used it for a while.  My eye appointment is in October.  Perhaps new glasses will help me with MF lenses.

With some help, I identified the insect as a Syrphid Fly.

I most frequently use my Fujifilm X-T2 with my legacy lenses, but decided to re familiarize myself with the 18-55mm kit lens.  I finally spotted a few of these bee-like insects enjoying visits to the Buddleia blooms.  While the eyes and markings are interesting, I could not settle on an identification.  I concluded that the lens, fully extended, gave me reasonable cropped images.

Focus accuracy is better than the last few with MF lenses.

No, I don't know what the insect is, either.
