The observations of the hoverflies (Syrphidae) inhabiting city greenery were conducted in 2007–2013, in Adam Mickiewicz University Botanical Garden, Poznań. The research used the method of catching with a net and into Moericke’s yellow traps. The study recorded 94 hoverfly species of 47 genera, which constitutes about 24% Syrphidae fauna in Poland, including 51 species whose larvae are zoophagous. An analysis of the occurrence phenology of selected predatory Syrphidae species proved that Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776), Eupeodes corollae (Fabricius, 1794), Sphaerophoria scripta (Linnaeus, 1758) and the representatives of the Syrphus genus were active throughout the vegetation season. In all the study years the species Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776) was the most numerous (64.9% of the specimens caught), which was included in the eudominant class.
