As the results of intensive taxonomic research #Merodon will soon be the largest European genus of Syrphidae. The adults fly very fast and low through vegetation and settle most often on the ground, on bare patches of soil in woodland paths, or at the edge of tracks. Its larvae feed on the bulbs of monocotyledons. #iucn #iucnhoverflysg #hoverfly #syrphidae #conservation #wildlife #insect #hoverflies #redlist #taxonomy #science #integrativetaxonomy #meetthehoverflies Photo by Tamara Tot
