Not sure if this is a flat footed fly or not- behaved like one - running around in circles on a leaf. Taken yesterday about 6mm body length South coast UK. To further compound my ignorance what is the structure on the rear leg ?
Thanks for any info.

Thanks Paul Smile
So is that rear leg structure linked to the flat footedness ?
