Ant flies (adults and larvae) in the genus Microdon, Syrphidae
Ant flies are unique in the hover fly family in that they inhabit the nests of ants. The fly larvae are thought to either feed directly on ant larvae or scavenge within the nest. Adults may be nectar feeders, but are almost always found near ant nests rather than hovering near flowers like other Syrphid flies. There are approximately 250 species that have been described worldwide.

Bonus: I can’t share the photo of this larva legally without asking permission from the photographer first, but it’s so weird and pretty I had to link it here.
