If you check the Gallery, you will notice that most have 'ordinairy' yellow halters. I have long suspected that the green halters are a first indication of infection with Entomopthora.


very interesting, Paul. I actually have a specimen with green haltere but I have yet to examine it. I will look for spores or signs of infection. I didn't know that the haltere are normally yellow. I am very interested in this subject. Thank you for posting, Paul. Fantastic info here :)
