Today I learned that wings of microhymenopterans are not tasty, as you can see on the video. And the dolichopodid, what species is it?

Rui. If you want, you can collect Dolichopodidae and send them to me. I can send them to a specialist. But do me one favour, don't send them together with other material, but separately and maybe once a year.
I can try to get them identified, but I cannot promise.

PS: how much is known about the feeding behaviour of Dolichopodidae? Interesting video!

Just a thought..(outside the box...or Padded Cell).We have lots of photos of flies blowing bubbles, can't remember any of Doli's among them...Maybe this is their way of cleaning their mouths...a bit like flossing, but using a fly's wings.....Yea stupid idea, or is it ?????

Recently released back into society....was it too soon?

Thank you for your kind offer André, but there is no need because I already send dolichopodids to Patrick Grootaert.Wink

Yea stupid idea, or is it ?????

Dear,

My guess would be Chrysotimus molliculus, the only Western European species with black antenna (C. flaviventris has a yellow scape and pedicel). It cannot be excluded that new species might occur in the Mediterranean bassin, but as this is not a xerophilous genus, this is not very likely. So I stick to my previous guess.

Cheers,
Marc
