This pair of O.germinationis were in the same area as my recent Post of Geomyza balachowskyi / hackmani. When that/those fly/flies got too close it got in a sort of Preying Mantis posture (Pic.1) which made them retreat.
Such is life in the undergrowth in my garden.

You're welcome Jan Willem....Grooming Paul? Isn't that what perverts do online???? :|. I watched it do this a couple of times when the other flies got too close.
