Eristalina is a subtribe of hoverflies with 17 genera. [1] Several species are well-known bee mimics, such as the drone fly ( Eristalis tenax). The larvae live in aquatic and moist organic material, often with low oxygen levels using a posterior breathing tube, thus the common name—the " rat-tailed maggot". [2]
