I was hearing a buzzing insect when that appeared behind the computer, it laid eggs on the wall, then it took another fly and then sudenly fell on the floor, dead.
19th August 2008, Can Grau, Beuda, Girona, Spain, UTM 31T DG7477, 400 m.

Final try to reproduce themselves when they are about to die, it's a survival mechanism!
All kinds of animals can do that, even fishes and reptiles!
