What an awesome video Nico! Thanks!
Bravo on that video! I'm going to redouble my efforts to observe these really fascinating creatures!
Hey! My friend did a documentary about this one. Really interesting behavior from this species, check out the crazy sexual antics (including kissing):

You're welcome!
Thank you so much Frazier!
Hello. This is a "stilt-legged fly" (Micropezidae) rather than a "long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae).
Thanks matias
