Mallota Cimbiciformis
''Mallota cimbiciformis'' is a Palearctic hoverfly. Description For terms see Morphology of Diptera A large (wing length 11·25-12·5 mm.) greenish-yellow and black fly which is a bumblebee mimic. The face is strongly dusted grey or grey-white, with a shining black median stripe, The antennae are red-brown with segments 1 and 2 sometimes black. The thorax is dull greenish-yellow, with long dense yellow hairs and a clear yellow scutellum. The tergites are black, with grey or mixed grey and black hairs 2, and occasionally 3 and 4, with a more or less obvious pair of reddish side-markings. The wings have a brown anterior cloud across the middle. The legs which have very large curved hind femora are partly black with at least the tibiae and tarsi partly or extensively reddish. ''Mallota'' differ from the similar ''Merodon'' by the angle of intersection of wing veins M1 and R4+5, acute and close to the wing edge in ''Mallota'' a right angle in ''Merodon'' The larva is of the rat- ...

Hoverfly Genera
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 mamma ...

Diptera Of Europe
Flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- ''di-'' "two", and πτερόν ''pteron'' "wing". Insects of this order use only a single pair of wings to fly, the hindwings having evolved into advanced mechanosensory organs known as halteres, which act as high-speed sensors of rotational movement and allow dipterans to perform advanced aerobatics. Diptera is a large order containing an estimated 1,000,000 species including horse-flies, crane flies, hoverflies and others, although only about 125,000 species have been described. Flies have a mobile head, with a pair of large compound eyes, and mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking (mosquitoes, black flies and robber flies), or for lapping and sucking in the other groups. Their wing arrangement gives them great maneuverability in flight, and claws and pads on their feet enable them to cling to smooth surfaces. Flies undergo complete metamorphosis; the eggs are often laid on the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
British Entomological And Natural History Society
The British Entomological and Natural History Society or BENHS is a British entomological society. It is based at Dinton Pastures Country Park in Reading. History BENHS was founded in 1872 as the South London Entomological and Natural History Society. Publications BENHS publishes a quarterly journal, the ''British Journal of Entomology and Natural History'' (), formally Proceedings and Transactions of the British Entomological and Natural History Society, and Proceedings and Transactions of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society. BENHS has published a number of books. Among the most well-known are two illustrated identification guides to British flies: * Stubbs, Alan E. and Steven J. Falk (1983) ''British Hoverflies, an illustrated identification guide'' * Stubbs, Alan E. and Martin Drake (2001) '' British Soldierflies and their allies'' Another title published by BENHS was ''New British Beetles - species not in Joy's practical handbook'' by Peter J.

Samuel Wendell Williston
Samuel Wendell Williston (July 10, 1852 – August 30, 1918) was an American educator, entomologist, and paleontologist who was the first to propose that birds developed flight cursorially (by running), rather than arboreally (by leaping from tree to tree). He was a specialist on the flies, Diptera. He is remembered for Williston's law, which states that parts in an organism, such as arthropod limbs, become reduced in number and specialized in function through evolutionary history. Early life Williston was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Samuel Williston and Jane A. Williston née Turner. As a young child, Williston's family travelled to Kansas Territory in 1857 under the auspices of the New England Emigrant Aid Company to help fight the extension of slavery. He was raised in Manhattan, Kansas, attended public high school there, and graduated from Kansas State Agricultural College (now Kansas State University) in 1872, afterwards receiving a Master of Arts from that instituti ...
