Chrysotoxum plumeum, the broad-banded meadow fly, is a common species of syrphid fly observed throughout North America.[2] Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae may be associated with aphids and ants.[3]
The species name may be a junior synonym of Chrysotoxum derivatum Walker, 1849.[4]
