Any idea what the flies atop these warring matabele ants are? Photo is from the Udzungwa mountains in Tanzania. Thanks for the help, Paul Portfolio - https://rainfores...ugmug.com/ http://www.flickr...37609@N08/ blog photo companion http://pbertner.w... |

They are Scuttle Flies (Phoridae). Several species have associations with ants. Brian Brown or Henry Disney may be able to help further.
