Hiatomyia cyanescens ,[1] the cobalt deltawing, is an uncommon species of syrphid fly observed in the northeastern United States.[2] Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae are unknown.[3]
