| Only the cosmopolitan syrphid fly Eristalis tenax was captured on two occasions carrying the four pollinia attached to the mouthparts. |
|
| Included among the invertebrates are moth flies, wood gnats, midges, punkies, mosquitoes, marsh beetles, and beelike or wasplike syrphid flies. |
|
| In the field at Davis, California, only a few syrphid flies were observed visiting the foliage and seldom the flowers. |
|
| Composite flowers offer some of the best floral rewards, and pollinators have taken notice: bumblebees, syrphid flies, honeybees. |
|
| Predators are insects such as ladybugs, praying mantises, lacewings, syrphid fly larvae, dragonflies and ground beetles that feed on other insects. |
|
| The bug gardens will allow researchers to follow natural populations of Aphidoletes, lacewings, syrphid flies and lady bird beetles on a variety of plant species that have been reported to benefit these biocontrol agents. |
|
| The behavior of only a handful of hilltopping syrphid flies has been described in any detail. |
|
| Predaceous arthropods, such as ladybeetles, syrphid flies, lacewings, and spiders, feed on ACP, as does a parasitoid from Asia. |
|
| They attract bumblebees, sweat bees and syrphid flies. |
|
| One such visitor was a wasp-mimicking syrphid fly. |
|
| They are most efficiently controlled by predators like lady beetles, lacewings and syrphid flies, which can be purchased for release in the garden. |
|
| Small-flowered plants like sweet alyssum, yarrow and herbs in the carrot family are often visited by insect species that prey on aphids lit the lady beetle, the lacewing and syrphid flies. |
|
| A major proportion of syrphid species are aphidophagous at larval stage and, therefore, are of great importance in biological control of plant pests. |
|
| Syrphid files Often mistaken for bees, flies in this group visit wild flowers to get nectar. |
|
| Syrphid flies were present during the bloom, but like halictid bees, became abundant only later in the season. |
