Spilomyia Sayi
''Spilomyia sayi'' (Goot, 1964), the Four-lined Hornet Fly, is a fairly common species of Hoverfly, syrphid fly. This species is found from western Canada to northeastern North America. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving Nectarivore, nectar and protein-rich Palynivore, pollen. The larvae are known as the short-tailed larvae, suited for moist areas such as rot holes of trees. It is a wasp Mimicry, mimic. Adults are seen from June to October in the northern part of their range. Males engage in hilltopping, where they find high ground to await females. Larvae are found in decaying heartwood of deciduous trees. Description For terms see Morphology of Diptera. ;Size ;Head The vertex is black against a black background. In the female the antennal prominece is yellow The face profile is nearly strai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spilomyia Crandalli
''Spilomyia crandalli'', Crandall's Hornet Fly, is a rare species of syrphid fly first officially described by Curran in 1951. This species is found in western North America near the Pacific coast.

Batesian Mimicry
Batesian mimicry is a form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both. It is named after the English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, after his work on butterflies in the rainforests of Brazil. Batesian mimicry is the most commonly known and widely studied of mimicry complexes, such that the word mimicry is often treated as synonymous with Batesian mimicry. There are many other forms however, some very similar in principle, others far separated. It is often contrasted with Müllerian mimicry, a form of mutually beneficial convergence between two or more harmful species. However, because the mimic may have a degree of protection itself, the distinction is not absolute. It can also be contrasted with functionally different forms of mimicry. Perhaps the sharpest contrast here is with aggressive mimicry where a predator or parasite mimics a harmless species, avoiding detection and improving it ...
