Rolf Nagel-Fl-24-1292-Sarcophaga Copula

Temporary biplane

 

Sarcophaga spec. ♀♂ (Diptera, Sarcophagidae)

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

Fleischfliegen ... fliegend in Kopula

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

 

 

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

 

 

Except for ISO, the EXIF data are incorrect, because the equipment used is not Canon-compatible:

Die EXIF-Daten sind falsch, bis auf den ISO-Wert, weil das Zubehör nicht Canon-kompatibel ist:
