Microchrysa is a genus of small, compact soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae, best known for their glossy, often metallic appearance. Species of Microchrysa are usually found in vegetated environments such as meadows, forest edges, gardens, and wetlands, where moisture and organic matter are present. Adults are frequently seen resting on leaves or visiting flowers, feeding on nectar, pollen, or other plant-derived fluids, and may play a minor role in pollination.
