Syrphus rectus, the yellow-legged flower fly, is a species of fly in the family Syrphidae, the hover flies.[2][3] Syrphus rectus is a common fly in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada and has occasionally been seen in Europe.[4] Like many hoverflies, it has strongly contrasting black and yellow bands on the abdomen.[3]
The adults visit the flowers of plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) and the larvae feed on aphids.[2][3] The yellow-legged flower fly flies between April and November.[3]
