do not disturb him, because it is a copulating male of a fly from a Baltic beach (a Beach Boy!) But what is an arrowed structure looking somewhat like an additional haltere? And is it Anthomyiidae at all?

Looks like a calypter to me - just a very hairy one  |

Yes, Marek, calypter is somewhat rumple, but as regarding the serios process your flies are currently involved, well, it comes sometimes during this process  Anthomyiidae is correct, genus Fucellia Nikita Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 02-09-2008 16:15 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
