Parasyrphus nigritarsis is a species of hoverfly, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera.[1][2] It is known from northern Europe and North America,[3][4] and has been considered to be a rare species in parts of its range.[5] Adults visit flowers as a source of nutrition,[6] and females lay their eggs on clutches of eggs of leaf beetles (family Chrysomelidae).[7] When the Parasyrphus larvae hatch, they first consume leaf beetle eggs and then consume immature beetles until they reach the pupal stage.[8][9][10] This species is related to hoverflies that prey on aphids as larvae,[11][12] and has been investigated in studies of chemical ecology[7][13][14][15][16] and food web ecology.[17][18]
