Biology:Bacchini

From HandWiki

The Bacchini are a tribe of hoverflies. The tribe Bacchini contains a worldwide distribution of over 430 species. They are mostly small elongate flies with black heads and scutellum. Larvae are predatory, mainly upon aphids,[1] like others in the subfamily Syrphinae, itself containing around 1,600 species. They in turn belong to the family Syrphidae with over 6,200 species worldwide.[2]
