Western Calligrapher

Toxomerus occidentalis (Curran,1922) the Western Calligrapher, is a common species of syrphid fly found in western North America from British Columbia south to California, Colorado and Texas. Syrphid flies are also known as Hover Flies or Flower Flies because the adults are frequently found hovering around flowers from which they feed on nectar and pollen. Adults look very similar to the Eastern Calligrapher.
