Eupeodes volucris

Introduction:

These flies are beneficial insects, as their larvae are predators of aphids and other soft-bodied insects, helping to control pest populations. The adults are often seen hovering near flowers, feeding on nectar and pollen. Eupeodes volucris larvae are important biological control agents, effectively suppressing aphid infestations in various agricultural settings. Adults are typically yellow and black, though the colors can also be white or a metallic greenish hue.
