Kärrblomflugor (Helophilus) är ett släkte i familjen blomflugor.

Många blomflugor i detta släkte är stora och iögonfallande, upp till 17 millimeter långa. De har en svart grundfärg med artspecifika gula parfläckar på bakkroppen. Behåringen är kort. Många, till exempel alla i Sverige förekommande arter, har tydliga gula eller gråaktiga strimmor på ryggskölden. Längd 9 till 17 millimeter.

Evolution must be exciting.

Found a rather groggy wasp queen yesterday catching some sun on a camelia leaf - must have just come out of hibernation.
