Copestylum vesicularium
Iridescent Bromeliad Fly
Copestylum vesicularium, commonly known as the iridescent bromeliad fly, is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae. This species is widely distributed across the eastern half of North America. The common name reflects its association with bromeliad plants, which serve as larval hosts. Like other members of the genus Copestylum, adults are likely flower visitors, though specific floral associations require further documentation.
