Thank you very much for watching the video Mark Ridgway.
I see scorpion flies all over the places now, but I have never seen this kind of act by them before. You maybe right. I was curious to know if anyone saw or knew ……

Very interesting Reiko. It seems to be over some eggs. Maybe it has just laid them and needs to dry some 'glue' or protein coating or something... just one guess.
