Callicera erratica , the golden pine fly, is a rare species of syrphid fly observed in the Northeastern United States and Canada. Hoverflies are known for their ability to remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies because they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen.
