Syrphinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Syrphidae, known as flower flies. Syrphinae flies have brightly colored bodies, often found with stripes or spots. They vary in size, some are larger than the ones I show here. But many have slender bodies and transparent wings.

These flower flies are known for their ability to fly in a hover place, namely around flowers before they actually land on the flower.

They feed on nectar and pollen from flowers, these flower flies play an important role as pollinators and dispersers of small seeds on flowers so that flower seeds grow back.

The one I show here is small in size, so it is very difficult to photograph, plus its wild character. so I have to add my patience to photograph it

On the other hand. Syrphinae flies are an interesting and environmentally beneficial group of flies. As I said earlier. They have an important role in pollination.
