Just one sentence from the report on Sixth International Congress of Dipterology, Fukuoka, September 2006:

<There was some incredible film footage shown that impressed everyone present (i.e. adult dolichopodid feeding video; tachinid larva attaching to host trachea video; sepsid courting behaviour video).>

[http://www.nadsdiptera.org/News/FlyTimes/Flyhome.htm]

Have anybody ideas about the www-collection of videos?
Who knows the author of dolichopodid feeding video?

Igor.

Dolichopodid feeding video (740 MB) can be downloaded here from:

http://www.bio.vs...o/film.htm

Sergei Pogonin is the author.

Best wishes

Amazing stuff!

Does any body know what kind of fly it is that has caught the Dolicho near the end of the video?

cheers - martin

I'd be interested to see the tachinid video - anyone know where that is held? I can't seem to find it on the link given :(

Martin, I have extracted one shot from the video. Asilid fly probably is a predator.
