$Close-up head and body detail of a Common Drone Hoverfly (Eristalis tenax) resting on a daffodil flower on an early, sunny, spring day. Good overall body detail.\n This is a common hover fly species found in gardens, meadows and hedgerows throughout the British Isles. It is called a Drone hover fly because it mimics the drone, or male, bee. This is a very beneficial insect as the adults feed on nectar, pollinating a wide range of plants as they do so. The larva is known as a ‘rat-tailed maggot’ because of its’ long telescopic breathing tube.$

Hoverflies, also called flower flies or syrphids, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs specifically Detritivores [1] eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores, preying on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects.Insects such as aphids are considered crop pests, and therefore the aphid-eating larvae of some hoverflies are economically and ecologically important. The larvae are potential agents for use in biological control; while the adults are pollinators.About 6,000 species in 200 genera have been described. Hoverflies are common throughout the world and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Hoverflies are harmless to most mammals, though many species are mimics of stinging wasps and bees, a mimicry which may serve to ward off predators.
