These hoverflies inhabit wetland, river margins, seasonally flooded grassland and salt-marsh. They are anthropophilic in southern Europe, where it frequents irrigation ditches in farmland. The aquatic rat-tailed larva is a detritivore associated with decaying rhizomes of Typha latifolia and with beds of Glyceria maxima. 1291
