Did you / could you collect this? It's a distinctive one, and it would be nice to know what adult fly goes with it.

Where there aphids nearby?

Thanks Natalie!
Young Black Poplars about 3 feet high. The leaves were covered with aphids.

Thought so!
I would think Syphini then, reminds me of the American Hoverfly. We don't have a whole lot of pupae confirmed to adults on the guide though, and the coloration on this specimen is super cool. I'm excited to see what emerges!
