Microdon is a unique hoverfly genus. Its larvae live inside ant nests where they prey on ant brood. Because of their unusual body shape, Microdon larvae can be misidentified as slugs.

Hoverflies are mimics. While the adults spend their time pollinating, their larvae are busy being superheroes. Many hoverfly larvae are predatory, snacking on aphids and keeping your plants healthy! 💛🖤 Collaboration: @nonhoneybees #PollinatorAcademy #nonhoneybees #insects #Pollinators #cartoon
