Syrphid pupa development 5-29-08 - Syrphus - Male
Churchville Nature Center, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 29, 2008
Size: About 10 mm.
Syrphus, Eupeodes? Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am very bad at IDying these flies. Also, it would be great to know the ID of its larva.

Syrphid maggot
Thank you for the lifecycle images. Found a maggot eating black aphids on Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense) today. Syrphus also found here.

For the adult
Assuming this is in the SF: Syrphinae and as you have the specimen it should be easy to decide whether this is Syrphus or another genus:
Lower lobe of calypter with many coarse yellow hairs above . . . . Syrphus
Lower lobe of calypter with only microscopic pile above, or, rarely, with a very few fine pale scattered erect hairs . . . . . other genera (many).
