Platycheirus scamboides (Curran 1927),[1][2] the yellowspine sedgesitter, is a rare species of syrphid fly observed in northeastern North America.

[3] Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight.

The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen.

Larvae are aphid predators.
