Mientras que los adultos se alimentan exclusivamente de n\u00e9ctar y polen \u2014con especial preferencia por umbel\u00edferas blancas, zarzamoras y cardos\u2014, sus larvas son voraces cazadoras. Estas larvas se especializan en devorar los pulgones que infestan \u00e1rboles y arbustos como robles, pinos, manzanos y sa\u00facos. Sabiendo esto, las hembras depositan estrat\u00e9gicamente sus huevos cerca de las colonias de pulgones, convirtiendo a esta especie en un valioso agente de control biol\u00f3gico. Aunque est\u00e1n activas de abril a noviembre, con un pico de poblaci\u00f3n a finales del verano, es habitual verlas revolotear en los linderos soleados del bosque durante los meses c\u00e1lidos. Durante mi viaje en bicicleta por la costa este de Suecia en junio de 2026, me top\u00e9 con estas asombrosas moscas durante mis descansos a la sombra del bosque, logrando capturar algunas de las m\u00e1s bonitas fotograf\u00edas de toda mi ruta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meliscaeva cinctella es una estilizada y elegante mosca cernidora que destaca por su abdomen estrecho y sus alas largas.
