taken last evening after work.found a tree with a few hundred of these.a first for me.shot @ 3-1
the underside
mating pair
a new fly for me.taken @3-1 very small and running around a leaf displaying.
Wonderful captures.
A flat-footed fly (Platypezidae). That behaviour of running around at high speed on a leaf is typical for them - I assume it's a courting dance.
