 playing possum or tanatosis is rather rarely observed in flies. This one fell from a leaf to another one and kept still for about two minutes! Anyone seen something alike in this or another syrphid?

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
