Volucella is a genus of large, broad bodied, dramatic hover-flies. They have distinctive plumose aristas and the face is extended downwards. [1] They are strongly migratory. and males are often territorial. Adults feed on nectar of flowers and are often seen sunning on leaves. The [larva]e of most species live in nests of bumble bees and social wasps, where they are detritivores and larval predators. [2]
