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 ![]() Kahis |

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.!" Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
