Hagenomyia tristis
During a bush-walk this morning, we came across on place that was full of this antlion fly. It was an area of 3*3 meters and over one houndred flies sat in the plants there. The area smelled a bit like honey...
Next to Mlawula river, Riverine forest (Spirostachys africanus).
Hi Tiz! I had a silmilar chance to watch these take off from uprigthly hanging vines as I neard them. Nature is full of many more unseen wonders! :):)
Hello Rahul! It was a very special and magic moment when they all lifted and flew away in the same time. A true reminder of how amazing nature is :)
Thanks for your comment!
Wow! Such a beautiful spectacle! Never saw these angels in such abundance. :):)
