2025-05-17 10:00 - 11:00 | Clark County Operations Center, Building B-1, 4700 N.E. 78th St., Vancouver, WA, 98665, United States
Hover flies, also known as syrphids or flower flies, are a family of flies best known as bee mimics, are frequently seen darting around flowers. Despite this fly family’s small size and relatively hairless bodies, they are valuable pollinators as adults. As larvae, some hover fly species consume aphids and some species consume detritus, an essential element in nutrient cycling. Hover flies may go unnoticed but provide essential services in your garden. In this talk, you will learn more about how to identify them, a bit about the research being conducted on the hover fly family, and how gardening decisions can conserve their populations and invite them into your garden. Join the WSU Clark County Extension Master Gardener program as we host a talk from OSU Researcher Nina Miller. Put on in partnership with Clark County Public Health Green Neighbors Program.
