Heringia salax (Loew, 1866 ), the Eastern Smoothleg Fly, is a fairly common species of
syrphid fly observed in many locations across North America. 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 are predators on
