Talk:Brachyopa punctipennis

Aside from the original description and a short reference in a field guide, there is not much that I can think of to add in the way of references to the description. The fact is, unless an insect is beneficial like a honey bee or detrimental like a mosquito, information on a species of insect is often limited. In the case of syrphids the larval stage, oviposition, food preferences, enemies, population size, range etc. are unknown for many if not most species. There is just a handful of specimens a description and a taxonomic framework. Such is the case here at least for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Styrphid Fox (talk • contribs) 21:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
