Stilt Legged Flies – Courting and Mating and …

At first I only saw him, standing on the edge of the leaf waving his front legs in the air. I looked across the chasm between leaves for what he could possibly be waving to and I saw her, not waving back.

After a little waving, mostly by him, they got together and that leg waving stopped but another leg waving started, the pair of legs behind the first.

Anyway, long story short, they got together and then parted. She went about grooming herself and he started waving those front legs again.

Sound familiar?
