  ERISTALIS 
  Latr. 
  

  

  E. 
  tenax 
  Linn. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  common 
  "drone" 
  or 
  "chrysanthemum 
  fly," 
  

   which 
  occurs 
  throughout 
  the 
  State 
  until 
  late 
  fall, 
  and 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  

   pollenize 
  chrysanthemums. 
  It 
  resembles 
  a 
  honey 
  bee 
  so 
  closely 
  that 
  

   most 
  persons 
  decline 
  to 
  handle 
  it, 
  therefore 
  it 
  is 
  also 
  called 
  "drone- 
  

   fly." 
  Its 
  larva 
  lives 
  in 
  the 
  foulest 
  excrement, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  typical 
  rat- 
  

   tailed 
  maggot.
