A pair of small flies in copula slowly drifted low among herbs, like Pipunculidae does (before coming to my computer that family was my thought). What Tachinidae have this behaviour? Mid Sweden today. Raimo attached the following image:  [252.16Kb] Edited by Raimo on 14-07-2019 18:21 |

Thankyou Theo, must be one of the very small (3-4mm). They flew like this, with sudden small change of direction, at least for 5 minutes. |
