The friend of Hover Fly is as the name fly which inhales the honey of a flower. It does not stab, although mimicry is carried out to the bee and it is well mistaken for a bee. Distinction attaches fly from a back wing degenerating and it being visible only like a front wing simply to it turning out clearly that the friend of a bee has four wings.
The friend of flat fly is small fly very good at an air stop flight. A male carries out an air stop flight in a sunny place, and waits for a female. While copulation also flies, there is also a kind performed in the air. A female lays an egg near Common Aphid, carrying out an air stop flight.
