Spilomyia Sayi
''Spilomyia sayi'' (Goot, 1964), the Four-lined Hornet Fly, is a fairly common species of Hoverfly, syrphid fly. This species is found from western Canada to northeastern North America. 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 Nectarivore, nectar and protein-rich Palynivore, pollen. The larvae are known as the short-tailed larvae, suited for moist areas such as rot holes of trees. It is a wasp Mimicry, mimic. Adults are seen from June to October in the northern part of their range. Males engage in hilltopping, where they find high ground to await females. Larvae are found in decaying heartwood of deciduous trees. Description For terms see Morphology of Diptera. ;Size ;Head The vertex is black against a black background.
