I can hold you and doing other things at the same time" the female told " you forgot my gift!!" oh.. yeeah... empidids are famous because the males usually give a gift (a juicy prey) to the females before the act. "i don't care. I'm in a hurry."

"i don't care. I'm in a hurry." Well, there WAS a gift, although a small one. You'see it if you look closely. Unfortunately, I could not get any other angle due to the situation of the flies inside a currant shrub. Philippe
