- This page contains pictures and information about Large Long Legs dexiin Flies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
 - Body length 15mm
-
- We sometimes see
different species of large Tachinid flies
rest on a tree trunk, with head facing downwards, seem
waiting for something. We thought they were looking for their host to parasite.
-
 -
- We waited and see for an afternoon but
did not find out what they were waiting
for. We saw that they defence for their territory, they may be the male waiting
for the female.
