Flower Flies Flower Flies are abundant everywhere except in arid areas of the Old World and in the extreme southern latitudes, Although flower Flies range to the highest latitudes in the north, they are absent from subantararctic islands and Antarctia. Flies are found throughout the summer on a wide range of flowers. Flower Flies are abundant on flowers, which are used as mating sites and energy sources. www.sel.barc.usda.gov /diptera/syrphid/syrphid.htm   (484 words)

Flower-fly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However a flower-fly and a wasp can be distinguished by counting the wings. The flower-flies or hover-flies are a family of flies (Diptera), scientifically termed the Syrphidae. As one of their names suggests, they are most often seen around flowers; the adults feed mainly on nectar and pollen, en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flower-fly   (248 words)

Syrphid flies or flower flies Generally considered beneficial because the larval stages of many species are predaceous on insect pests such as aphids and adults pollinate flowers. Most adult syrphid flies are black or brown with yellow banded abdomens and body markings, superficially resembling bees and wasps. This is a large group of flies, ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 inch long. hortipm.tamu.edu /pestprofiles/beneficial/syrphfly/syrphfly.html   (162 words)

fr092393.txt The flower-loving fly is approximately 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) long, orange-brown in color, and has dark brown oval spots on the upper surface of the abdomen. The documented distribution of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly extends from the eastern margin of the Delhi fine sand formation in Colton to near its western limit in Mira Loma. Another area north of I-10 that once supported the largest population of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly was bisected and reduced in size by a county park in 1988. www.cdpr.ca.gov /docs/es/estext/fr092393.txt   (6183 words)

Western Riverside County MSHCP The distribution of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly within Riverside is limited to the northern portion of the County in the vicinity of Mira Loma, Jurupa, and the Agua Mansa area. The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly is endemic to the Colton Dunes (Delhi series soils) in areas that contain suitable conditions for the subterranean early stages, adult nectar sources, and adult feeding, breeding, and perching areas. The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly is restricted (endemic) to the Colton Dunes (Delhi soil series) that once covered over approximately 40 square miles in northwestern Riverside and southwestern San Bernardino counties in southern California (USFWS 1997; USDA 1980, 1990) in irregular patches. ecoregion.ucr.edu /full.asp?sp_num=4   (1194 words)

Natural History Magazine Feature The flower and the fly are caught in a cycle of coevolution: plant pollination benefits from long floral tubes, because nectar-seeking insects must press their bodies closely against pollen-bearing floral parts to reach nectar pools at the end of the floral tube. The most important trait in the pollination syndrome of the long-nosed fly (and indeed, in all pollination syndromes of long-nosed insects) is a deep, tubular flower or floral spur. The nemestrinids, or tangle-veined flies (which include the meganosed fly), feed solely on nectar, whereas the tabanids, or horseflies, feed mostly on nectar, though female tabanids have separate mouthparts to suck blood for their developing eggs. www.naturalhistorymag.com /0305/0305_feature.html   (2725 words)

Endangered Species Bulletin: Protecting a Flower-loving Fly The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly is a rare endemic insect currently restricted to only 12 known populations in the semiarid sand dunes of southern California's San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly is a strong flier and, like the hummingbird, is capable of rapid rocket-like flight as well as stationary, hovering flight. The 1-inch (2.5-centimeter), orange and brown Delhi Sands flower-loving fly has feeding behavior similar to such species as the hummingbird and butterfly. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0ASV/is_5_23/ai_54023126   (1101 words)

Egg of a syrphid a hover fly, flower fly, or syrphid fly Their ability to hover and fly backwards is unique and therefore, the name hover fly.

What is a hover fly? - Allograpta obliqua, "Other-marked, oblique", is a tiny hover or flower fly. This fly is one of the few insects capable of flying backwards. These mimics visit flowers to feed on nectar and, in the process, perform more pollination in orchards than do the native bees. www.killerplants.com /renfields-garden/20031015.asp   (530 words)

AMNH - Expedition : Endangered The fly uses its long proboscis to suck nectar from flowers. This may be because many of the native flowering plants it feeds on have been driven out by introduced species. The Delhi sands fly was the 17th insect-- but the first fly -- to be listed as Endangered by the ESA. www.amnh.org /nationalcenter/Endangered/fly/fly.html   (245 words)

National Association of Home Builders v. Babbitt The Fly is also one of only a few North American species in the "mydas flies" family and one of only a few species in that family that visit flowers in search of nectar, thereby pollinating native plant species. The listing of the Fly, the habitat of which is located entirely within an eight mile radius in southwestern San Bernardino County and northwestern Riverside County, California, forced San Bernardino County to alter plans to construct a new hospital on a recently purchased site that the FWS had determined contained Fly habitat. She focuses not on the fly in the channels of commerce, but everything else moving in the channels of commerce that may affect the fly. lw.bna.com /lw/19971223/965354.htm   (14321 words)

Flies hinder cleanup efforts-trying to remove trash w/out pestering endangered inhabitants (flies) The sandy soils in Colton are suspected breeding grounds for the federally protected Delhi Sands flower-loving fly. The Delhi Sands Fly is found only in small parts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, at the eastern edge of the Los Angeles Basin, in areas of fine sandy soil, known as Delhi series sands. Riverside entomologist Ken Osborne said the trash traps the pupa of the Delhi Sands fly that is buried underneath the sand. www.freerepublic.com /focus/news/755044/posts   (1391 words)

Labrador fishing outfitters, Canadian fly-fishing It's not looking good for flying to Flower's River in the Beaver today, Jim said, looking towards the northern mountains in the distance.

Toby, meanwhile, was experiencing limited success with the fly rod because most of the char were just out of range, so he borrowed my spare spinning rod and reel, then proceeded to hook and release a number of fish between two and four pounds. www.flowersriver.com /mag_sportman_2002_page1.htm   (2788 words)

Hoverflies The distinctions between the two hover fly species are the black spot in the wings of Volucella bombylans, which the Greater Bulb-fly lacks and the veins in the wings, which show some twists and turns in the Greater Bulb-fly, while being rather straight in Volucella bombylans. The larvae of this hover fly lives in the nests of bumble bees, eating the rubbish the bees produce and possibly the bees larvae as well. The hover flies of the gender Sphaerophoria are all small, black with yellow lining and very similar to one another. www.gardensafari.net /english/hoverflies.htm   (3679 words)
