Rolf Nagel-Fl-19-1060-Sarcophaga Copula

Temporary biplane

 

Sarcophaga spec. ♀♂ (Diptera, Sarcophagidae)

Flesh Flies ......... flying in copula

Fleischfliegen ... fliegend in Kopula

Kødfluer .............. flyver i parring

Köttflugor ........... flyger i parning

 

Even aerodynamics of a single insect in flight is very complicated and I always wonder how two actively flying flies manage to coordinate their efforts.

 

Exposure time (= flash duration): 50 µs = 1/20.000 s
