there are other families where we can see flies moving their wings: Sepsidae, Ulidiidae (like this one), Tephritidae, Chloropidae, and more Pfft

I wish to know why these flies usually moves their wings in this way.. I don?t know the reason. Perhaps anyone could provide an explanation.

It's a desperate call for attention! Either they try to attract a mate, or warn rivals to stay away, or both Smile

there is a small problem with this possibility. I have spotted many ALONE flies doing that. There are no flies around when some flies do that. awkward If the things were simple... Smile

In case of Sepsis, as far as I understand it send signals
to another male - "I'm bigger"
to another sex - "I'm ready for mating"
to SAcathophaga - "I'm poisonous!"
to Dipterologist - "I'm Sepsis sp.!"
