Dahlia and Eristalis (dronefly)
Droneflies are a classic 'bee mimic'. They're true flies and they have very short antennae and two wings instead of four wings like a real bee. So what's the advantage of looking like a bee? Droneflies are literally as harmless as a fly. Droneflies don't have stingers in their tails and they don't attack in swarms. By wearing this clever disguise they avoid many potential predators. A dronefly is a bit like a sheep in wolf's clothing.
