This (fly)
[edit]- ... that This is found in southern Australia, is attracted to decomposing seaweed and has an unusual mating position? Sources
- "Distribution: Southern coasts of Australia" (McAlpine 1991 p 69)
- "In the field, mid wrack, because of its moisture, seaweed content and state of partial decomposition, would be the wrack category with the best food source and supply of volatile compounds which attract adult flies." (Blanche 1991 p 32)
- "The position of the male while mounted was also different to that seen in other coelopids - males appeared to be positioned further back on females, with the prothoracic legs resting on the females’ thorax rather than on the antennae area, as seen in C. frigida" (Blyth 2005 p 152)
- ALT1:... that This is a genus of fly in southern Australia, whose only species is attracted to decomposing seaweed and has an unusual mating position?
