Hoverfly larva
A hoverfly larva is the legless maggot stage of a hoverfly, feeding on aphids, decaying matter, plants, or ant nests, and valued in biological pest control.
Hoverfly mimicry and ecology
Hoverfly mimicry and ecology describes how the fly family Syrphidae mimics stinging bees and wasps through Batesian mimicry, and its members' roles as pollinators of crops and wildflowers.
Hoverfly morphology and identification
Hoverfly morphology and identification covers the anatomical characters used to identify hoverflies (Syrphidae), led by the spurious wing vein unique to the family, plus eye separation, wing venation, and the fused larval breathing tube.
Hoverfly regional checklists
Hoverfly regional checklists are curated, published inventories of the Syrphidae (hoverflies or flower flies) found in a defined country, island group, or province, with species-level nomenclature and vouchered records behind each entry.
Hoverfly taxonomy and systematics
Hoverfly taxonomy and systematics covers classification of Syrphidae, over 6,300 species in 200+ genera, four subfamilies (Microdontinae, Eristalinae, Syrphinae, Pipizinae), 16 tribes, and molecular phylogenies reshaping the family tree.
