Hi, today I was watching a long time these flies sitting on the rocks near the sea. They were not flying much but walking around and jumping from spot to spot. I jus wonder what they were doing ? I could not find any from the vegetation, just from the rocks. And the wet places were the favorites. Here are two specimens, face of the upper one and picture of the rocks near the sea. Loviisa, Southern Finland today. Jari JariF attached the following image:  [174.36Kb] Edited by JariF on 24-07-2008 20:03 |
