Parhelophilus laetus (Loew, 1863), the Common Bog Fly , is a common species of syrphid fly observed across northern North America. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen.

Las moscas Helophilus son un género diverso de moscas de tamaño moderado a grande de la familia Syrphidae. Mimetizan a las abejas. Las larvas se alimentan filtrando partículas de aguas ricas en materia orgánica.
