Rhagio

Rhagio is a worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. Several species in this genus are referred to as downlooker or down-looker flies because they sometimes perch on trees trunks in a head-down position. There are approximately 170 species. They can be distinguished from other rhagionids by the open anal cell on the wings and the lack of a kidney-shaped arista.[1]

gollark: Labels are 32 characters and there are 167 characters, if I IIRC correctly, so you actually get about 600 bytes/second.
gollark: Actually, you won't get much better than 240 bytes/s, just roughly that.
gollark: Adjacent computers can read each other's labels.
gollark: You can actually do much better than that using labels.
gollark: Yes, but since they don't turn up on the network as transfer locations, this will involve horrible special cases.
