Hi
* locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL
* date - 2007.05.26
* size - 5 mm (medium fly)
* habitat - openland; near Mentha spp, grassfield, smiley with many leafhoppers
* substrate - suspensed in a grass.
One of the most spectacular flies I ever seen. This is the second time I see this one. It has a very peculiar way in locomotion. This fly jumps. The jumps are parabolas.
It walks a little, then take a big or medium jump (considering its size). It has a very soft greenish hue.Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 19-06-2007 15:06
