Searching and oviposition behavior of aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae): a review
Aphidophagous hoverflies forage according two different host-finding mechanisms: they forage for suitable food sources (for their energy-expensive hovering flight, and for protein to mature their reproductive system), and for suitable oviposition sites. Syrphids are highly mobile, enabling them to l...
