Eupeodes fumipennis (Thomson, 1869)
Eupeodes fumipennis, the western aphideater, is an aphid-eating hover fly species in the family Syrphidae.
Eupeodes fumipennis, commonly known as the western aphideater, is a species of hover fly belonging to the family Syrphidae. As suggested by its common name, the larvae of this species prey on plant-sucking insects, with aphids being their primary prey. Just like other members of the Syrphidae family, adult western aphideaters often hover over the plants they visit.
