<i>Blera</i> (fly) Genus of flies

Blera is primarily a North American genus, though there are 3 species from Europe. The genus is characterized by the following characters:

<i>Chalcosyrphus</i> Genus of flies

Chalcosyrphus is a genus of hoverflies in the subfamily Eristalinae. Many species exhibit some degree of mimicry of various sawflies and other hymenopterans and are often brightly coloured or metallic in hue. The adults are similar in structure and behavior to the related genus Xylota but differ in larval morphology. They can be found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America and seem to prefer damper, boggy habitats. The larvae are saproxylic feeders in rotten wood in these habitats.

<i>Pocota</i> Genus of flies

Pocota is a genus hoverflies, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.

<i>Tropidia</i> (fly) Genus of flies

Tropidia is a genus hoverflies, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.

Neoascia metallica, the Double-banded Fen Fly, is a common species of syrphid fly observed across North America. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies, for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae are aquatic.

<i>Chalcosyrphus inarmatus</i> Species of fly

Chalcosyrphus (Xylotomima) inarmatus, the Yellow-haired Leafwalker, is an uncommon species of syrphid fly found across northern North America. Hoverflies are able to remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen.

<i>Hadromyia pulchra</i> Species of fly

Hadromyia pulchra is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae.

<i>Sphecomyia</i> Genus of flies

Sphecomyia is a genus of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae. There are about 16 described species in Sphecomyia.

Sphecomyia pattonii is a species of syrphid fly in the family Syrphidae.

<i>Chalcosyrphus metallifer</i> Species of fly

Chalcosyrphus (Xylotomima) metallifer , the Orange-horned Leafwalker, is a rare species of syrphid fly observed in the Eastern United States. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen.

<i>Chalcosyrphus piger</i> Species of fly

Chalcosyrphus (Xylotomima) piger, the short-haired leafwalker, is an uncommon species of syrphid fly found throughout North America and Europe. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies, for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. Larvae have been identified from sappy hollows from Larix and Pinus.
