Description

A hoverfly, also sometimes called a flower fly or syrphid fly.  They often masquerade as bees, and can be seen hovering at flowers to gather nectar and pollen.  The larvae of some species are important predators that eat many destructive species such as aphids, thrips, and other plant-suckers.  Taken 8-22-14 at our county wildlife rescue center, where it landed on a chair, providing a perfect backdrop to see the coloration.
