Hey dipterists thanks for reading On a dead fish lying on the floor, in South India many couples of flies, male more little than female (or the littlest are on Uber flies) Difficult to see exactly wings venation as males have the wings closed and female have twisted wings to offer the sit to males, but seem to be very close to Drosophilidae patterns These flies are about 5-7 mm length Could they be Drosophilae ? Pictures extracted from bad video at noon a fully sunny day. thank you SDS

last picture on these flies alike "floating" on a salt water puddle, in the street (South India, Kochi)  and the video ... of Genus Hecamede sp. mating YouTube Video I have no answer about the fact that if male specimen is so small Vs female, what is it doing on the shoulders ? Is it there the "croisière" position ? What's your opinion please, merci beaucoup Edited by solito de solis on 11-05-2017 13:32 |
