Description
Flower flies (family Syrphidae) are among the most colorful and conspicuous insects found around flowers. Of the nearly 900 species in North America, most have yellow-and-black stripes and are excellent mimics of wasps or bees. Flies can�t sting, but sounding and looking like insects that can makes birds and other predators avoid them. By Matthew Shepherd and Scott Hoffman Black with contributions from Carol Kearns *
