Species text
This hoverfly is widely distributed, at least within England, but infrequently found. It is rare in Essex. The larvae are mainly predacious on adelgid aphids and have been found attacking the woolly aphid on firs and coccids on Lombardy Poplar. Woodland rides and margins provide typical habitat (Stubbs & Falk 2002). References
