| Syrphid fly
adults (below left) resemble bees but have only one pair of wings and much shorter antennae.
They can be seen hovering in the air near plants. Their larvae are predators.
Syrphid fly larvae (below right) are usually light green, legless maggots, rounded at the rear and tapering to a point at the head. When the maggot is crawling, the head moves from side to side. The larvae eat soft-bodied insects. |
