The #marmalade #hoverfly, #Episyrphus #balteatus (#Syrphidae), is a common #species in #CentralEurope. It either #hibernates here as adult or #migrates toward #SouthernEurope, crossing the Alps. Its #migratorybehavior resembles that of other migratory animals.
X. Chang et al. (2024) investigated #endosymbiontic #microbiota dynamics in the syrphid's developmental stages.

Like other syrphids, hover flies Episyrphus balteatus feed on nectar and pollen, making them important pollinators. Their colors and markings make them similar to bees and wasps which protects them from many predators.

Como otros sírfidos la mosca cernidora Episyrphus balteatus se alimenta de néctar y polen lo que las hace importantes polinizadoras. Sus colores y marcas los hacen similares a abejas y avispas lo que las protege de muchos predadores.

Wie andere Syrphiden ernährt sich auch die Schwebfliege Episyrphus balteatus von Nektar und Pollen, was sie zu einem wichtigen Bestäuber macht. Durch ihre Farben und Markierungen ähneln sie Bienen und Wespen, was sie vor vielen Fressfeinden schützt.

A little air acrobat 🚁
It's a little Diptera 🐝 from the Syrphid family. It is completely harmless and has the shape of a fly but it imitates the much more dangerous wasps: read the sheet!
