hi flyforum, Yesterday I found several Doli sp. on Acer leaves. The mating of these flies was quit funny to see; While the female was sitting on the leaf, the Doli-man puts its long legs down in the flight and took positions in the air (like a heli) to land on the back of the female. The man stood still in the air several times before landing. Next to this Doli sp. (see picture) I saw some Doli's with huge feathered antenne. Is this Doli(see pict below) Argyra sp. as well? Thankx in advance Robert place: Amsterdam forest date: 20-09-2008 Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [135.85Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 21-09-2008 10:59 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

I'd say Rhaphium.
