Common Flower Flies (Genus Syrphus)Observer
ariolimaxDescription
On species Tulipa clusiana hybrid. An anthropophilic species that occurs in parks, gardens and along field hedges. The polyphagous larvae of Syrphus vitripennis feed on many different aphid species. They pass through 3 larval stages and eat 460 to 1100 aphids, depending on the availability, species, size and stages of development of the prey.
The mature larva has an optional diapause and overwinters in the litter layer.
Could be S. torvus but I don’t see the hairy eyes.
