[1] The airframe is made of waxed foamcore (foamboard) and the drone is supplied as a self-assembly flatpack, complete with a tablet-PC control centre ...
Eristalinus taeniops can reach a length of 11–14 millimetres (0.43–0.55 in). [5] These hoverflies exhibit a bee-like yellow and black coloration (Batesian mimicry) and are often mistaken for wasps or bees.
Several species are known as drone flies (or droneflies) because they bear a resemblance to honeybee drones. Drone flies and their relatives are fairly common generalist pollinators , [ 2 ] the larvae of which are aquatic, and breathe through a long, snorkel -like appendage, hence the common name rat-tailed maggots .
