Description

Thanks for viewing !! :o) - Ok, this is another one from last year. Not the best of shots but i think it looks pretty funny ;) The species shown is a Dance Fly (also known as Balloon Flies, Empids or Dagger Flies) Empis tesselata : The males often dance in small groups, each holding a prey. Should a female pass by, the males offer her their prey. She chooses the best looking prey and the couple disappears into the bushes. While copulating the female Empid sucks dry the prey offered by the male. Have a great day !! :) - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Cicindela Road" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen
