This endemic hoverfly is present throughout New Zealand, where it occurs in grassland, vegetable crops, field crops, cereals, gardens and other habitats with low growing vegetation. This type of relationship where one species benefits and the other is unaffected is called commensalism or symbiosis. Conservation status: The small hoverfly is widespread and not threatened. hoverfly, hover fly, syrphid fly, flower fly (Volucella bombylans), larvae in bumble bee or wasp nest Cheilosia, Print, Cheilosia is a genus of hoverfly.

UK Status This species became established in Britain in the 1940s and until recently it had very much a southerly distribution with most records coming from south of a line from the Severn Estuary to The Wash, however it seems to be expanding its range and is now quite frequently recorded further north. New Zealand Journal of Science 10(4): 1100-1209. Martin NA. In order to breathe they developed a long pipe at the rear end of the body, which they stick into the air. However, it is highly likely that predatory larvae experience food shortages during their development and are forced to move and leave the plant in search of prey.
