These Craneflies where observed by David Rentz (his picture also). They were attached to each other by their tarsi and blowing in the wind. Photography was very difficult under these condition. There were 20 flies in this chain, and other chains could be seen blowing in the wind. Has any one observed this behavior? The location was on the Marrdja Boardwalk, Cape Tribulation, North Queensland, Australia.
