The
Large Spearhorn Hoverfly Chrysotoxum
cautum belongs to a genus containing several very
convincing (and exquisitely patterned) social wasp mimics, a subterfuge that
extends beyond their markings to include a wasp-like flight-pattern.
Fortunately, most of these beautifully marked insects are unlikely to venture
indoors - as they might be swatted! Entomological keys or good reference illustrations
are required to separate these flies with certainty.
