Dear Andrzej, I'm trying to observe this fly in nature. This is very first results: 1. I dare say that 'our' Trixoscelis is more pretty than other Trixpscelises. 2. At least I know how to find it now: a. You find some dog's dung inside Side. b. Take it and some water to refresh it and go to sand dune. c. Put it and refresh in siutable place (= a shadow one) female Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [123.78Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

What an amazing technique Nikita! I must try that to see if I can find something interesting, but cat dung is more at hand for me. |

It depends: for T.obscurella you don't need dung at all - simply water on sand is enought. Other T. (frontalis and vikhrevi) requires some dung, but as even birds drop is enought, I think that cat's will attract OK too Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Just water on sand? Water is certainly the most precious supply where it lives... I will try cat dung in various places to see what I can catch. Edited by Rui Andrade on 31-05-2008 21:10 |
