Summary

Syrphidae, commonly known as hoverflies or flower flies, are a family of insects belonging to the order Diptera. They are characterized by their ability to hover in mid-air, resembling bees or wasps. Hoverflies are important pollinators and are often seen visiting flowers, feeding on nectar and pollen. They are beneficial insects as their larvae feed on aphids and other pests, making them valuable for natural pest control in gardens and agricultural fields.
