Latin name:
Dolichopodid (family)
I was so pleased to get some shots of a Long-legged fly in flight. This is a male Long-legged fly. He was hovering over a female hoping to mate. The light was good so I was able to have the shutter speed at 1/800 second. Faster would have been even nicer.
Surprisingly, this shot has gotten little attention on Flickr, much less than an earlier shot of
mating worms. I am apparantly a poor judge of what will be popular.
