Hi,
The attached photo shows two small flies mating. It was taken at the end of November.
I decided they were nematoceran, probably Biblionidae because of the large eye in the male with short antennae below the eyes. However, I can't find any that are active at this time of year. Any chance of a difinite identification?
Thanks, Ted Gaten
Hi Ted
Although we aren't expert dipterists we are fairly happy that your mating flies are Fever-fly - Dilophus febrilis. I will name and process your record.
