do not disturb him, because it is a copulating male of a fly from a Baltic beach (a Beach Boy!) But what is an arrowed structure looking somewhat like an additional haltere? And is it Anthomyiidae at all?

Looks like a calypter to me - just a very hairy one ![]() |

Yes, Marek, calypter is somewhat rumple, but as regarding the serios process your flies are currently involved, well, it comes sometimes during this process ![]() Anthomyiidae is correct, genus Fucellia Nikita Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 02-09-2008 17:15 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
