Eupeodes volucris, the large-tailed aphideater or bird hover fly, is a species of hover fly in the family Syrphidae.[1][2][3] As its "aphideater" name implies, larvae prey on plant-sucking insects, primarily aphids. [4]
The "hover" part of the family name derives from the fact that adults often hover over the plants they visit.
