[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Adults are strong day-time flyers capable of hovering. They frequently visit flowers to feed on pollen and nectar. Larval stages are active predators of aphids and other small, plant-sucking insects. One or more generations each year depending on weather conditions. These are beneficial insects, useful as pollinators in the adult stage and as natural enemies of plant pests in the larval stages.
