Description
English: Mating Empididae. The article on these insects talks of "elaborate courtship ritual in which the male wraps a prey item in silk and presents it to the female to stimulate copulation", but the two of them were first mating without fly, and the fly happened to come and fly right into the arms of the bottom Empididae. Could there be pheromones at work here?
