Along with Hover flies (F. Syrphidae). Lady-birds (F. Coccinellidae) and Lacewings (F. Chrysopidae) these fly magpots attack aphids on a large scale and destroy them in numbers. As this insect is one the farmer should be familiar with and protect as far as possible, a short description of its various stages.
