Was he just mating? Normally the sex organs are folded under the abdomen. Some Dolochopodinae. |

No, it was not mating when it landed on the leaf. |

Isidro, To make things complicated: I would not exclude Hercostomus pilifer, which has also largely yellow antennae and a Dolichopus-like cercus. If your specimen has not bristles on its hind metatarsus, it might well be this species. By the way, I have collected this species myself nr Formigal in the Spanish Pyrenees some years ago. Please consider. Cheers, Marc |
