About the Hoverfly
Hoverflies, also called flower flies, are best known for hanging in mid-air in one spot, wings whirring like a tiny helicopter. Many are boldly striped in yellow and black, which makes them look like wasps or bees even though they cannot sting. The adults sip nectar and help pollinate flowers, while the young of some kinds eat aphids. Print this hoverfly for a garden lesson on the harmless insects that copy a bee's colors.
