Brachyopa bicolor (Fallén, 1817) is an uncommon species of syrphid fly. It has been observed in Central Europe from Germany to Greece. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. Larvae for this genus are of the rat-tailed type. B.bicolor larvae have been described from sap runs in Aesculus, Fagus and Quercus.
