Genus of flies
Milesia is a
genus of very large
hoverflies ,
[10] which mimic social wasps. For example, the European species
Milesia crabroniformis is a convincing
mimic of the
hornet species
Vespa crabro . Milesia are predominantly
Palaeotropical in
distribution almost entirely
Oriental .
[11]
The Larvae are of the short-tailed type, found in decaying heartwood of deciduous trees, including rot-holes.
