Callicera
Medium-sized to rather large (wing length 9·75-15 mm.) bumblebee mimics. They are beautiful metallic flies, with strikingly long antennae. All the species are considered rare. Callicera larvae live in water rot-holes of overmature trees as saprophages. They occur mainly in ancient forests where they are arboreal.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] [9] Callicera have been used as bioindicators

gollark: If there's an official golang twitter account, make it tweet "lol no generics".
gollark: Maybe make Donald Trump say weird but in-character things which he won't deny later for fear of looking stupid.
gollark: Oh, that's fun too.
gollark: If I found such an exploit and wanted to do moderately evil things, I would probably try and subtly influence Twitter's hive mind by fiddling with likes and such.
gollark: Is 100 kiloeuros "set for life" money, though?
