These are "flower-flies," usually brightly colored and banded with yel- low on a black, bronze or blue ground. They have very short, aristate or stylate three-jointed feelers, barrel-shaped bodies, and somwhat flat- tened abdomen, varying from slender to broadly oval. Sometimes they are almost bare and resemble wasps in appearance and habits; at others they are hairy and resemble bees, even in the droning or buzzing noise that they make. The mouth parts are formed for scraping and lapping only, and they feed upon honey or pollen. In larval habits they vary greatly. Some are predatory and feed upon plant lice; these are usually wrinkled, pointed anteriorly, and live among their prey upon leaves of plants. Others feed in plant tissue, being more or less maggot or grub- like; and yet others are scavengers, the larvae feeding in the foulest excrementitious matter; these are usually furnished with a long breathing pj^ 313—\ "rat-tailed" tube from the anal end, and are known as rat- larva. tailed larvae. Some few species seem to feed upon pollen, and at least one form occurs between the leaf and stalk of corn, feeding upon the juices. Yet on the whole the species are beneficial. MICRODON Meig.
