Activity period in Egypt: Throughout the year.

Remarks: E. corollae is one of the commonest of the Egyptian Syrphids ( Efflatoun 1922). It prefers grassland, dune systems and dry river beds. It is largely anthropophilic, occurring in most sorts of farmland (including arable crops), suburban gardens, orchards and parks. It settles on low-growing vegetation, and visits the margins of streams, ponds and pools to drink in hot weather. In Europe, it has been recorded on an extensive list of flowers, especially the Umbelliferae ( De Buck 1990; Speight 2017).
