The occurrence of predatory Syrphidae (hoverflies) in green areas cities and their role as biological control agents is determined this work. During the study, 751 adults belonging to 21 species were captured Moericke’s traps with sweep nets, 286 larvae from 10 reared aphid colonies. In both cases, dominants Episyrphus balteatus (Deg.) Sphaerophoria scripta (L.), Syrphus vitripennis Meig. (L.) It can be assumed that hoverflies attracted by flowering plants then developed colonies on trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, reducing population. largest number was caught plant-rich well-developed Wolski Forest, whose conditions beneficial for reproduction survival. Studies voracity have shown dominant ate 243 498 individuals Aphis fabae Scop. 272 468 specimens Myzus cerasi (Fabr.); efficiency depended syrphid well instar stage larva. results indicate urban spaces are vital refugia insect biodiversity could a reservoir insects.
