American Hoverfly
Eupeodes americanus
American hoverflies visit flowers in gardens, meadows, woodland edges, and agricultural areas. Adults feed mainly on nectar and pollen, hovering precisely as they move between blooms. Their yellow-and-black pattern resembles a stinging wasp, but hoverflies have no sting and are important pollinators.
