Flower Fly
Hover flies, also called flower flies or syrphid flies, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects. Insects such as aphids are considered a crop pest, and therefore the aphid-eating larvae of some hover flies serve as an economically (as well as ecologically) important predator and even potential agents for use in biological control, while the adults may be pollinators. About 6,000 species in 200 genera have been described. Hover flies are common throughout the world and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Hover flies are harmless to most mammals, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platycheirus Albimanus
''Platycheirus albimanus'' is a common widespread species of hoverfly. A holarctic species its range includes Greenland, Iceland, Britain, mainland Europe, Russia, across Siberia to the pacific coast, the Philippines, Alaska, western Canada and United States. The larvae feed on aphids on a wide range of plants, shrubs and trees. Adults can be found in flight generally between April and October on the edges of woodland or scrub, heath or along hedgerows where they visit a wide range of flowers.Coe, R.L.

Charles Howard Curran
Charles Howard Curran (20 March 1894 – 23 January 1972) was a Canadians, Canadian entomologist who specialised in Diptera. Curran's main taxonomic interests were in Brachycera, brachyceran flies, particularly the flower flies Syrphidae, in which he described 723 species. From 1922 to 1928 he worked as a specialist service in Diptera Entomology of Canada. In 1928, he was hired by the American Museum of Natural History as Assistant Curator and, from 1947 until his retirement in 1960, as Curator of Insects and Spiders. In 1931, he donated his collection to that institution: it has 10,000 specimens representing about 1,700 species including 400 types. He received in 1933 a Doctorate of Science at the University of Montreal with a thesis entitled The Families and Genera of North American Diptera. He was vice-president of the New York Entomological Society in 1936, president the following year. References Paul H. Arnaud Jr. et Thelma C. Owen (1981). Charles Howard Curran (1894-197 ...

Platycheirus Coerulescens
''Platycheirus coerulescens'', the Hooked Sedgesitter, is a species of syrphid fly in the family Syrphidae. Description For terminologySpeight key to genera and glossary ;Size The thoracic pile of the insect is completely white, while the fore and mid femurs are orange in color. On the apical part of the fore femurs, there is a row of 9-12 strong, straight, black posterior setae, which are approximately twice as long as the diameter of the femur; this row ends in a single longer seta with a strongly curved apex at the apex of the row. Additionally, there is a row of 3-5 strong yellow ventral setae on the basal third of the fore femur, and these setae are slightly shorter than the femoral diameter. On the basal third of the mid femur, there is a row of 2-5 long strong, yellow or black anteroventral setae, and the longest of these setae is approximately twice the femoral diameter. The wings are mostly bare on the basal half. The spots of the tergites are orange, dull yellow, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
