We often see mating phorids running around a leaf. In this case the pair was seen first flying about in one place, then set and kept relatively quiet for about 3 minutes till was scared by the photographer who liked to come closer and closer. During this time the female tried sevel to kick the male as on this picture. Any species suggestion?
