The below side of its belly is plain yellow.
Its wings are not transparent, as are the ones of the flies that you
probably know, but are of grayish-brown colour and show whitish speckles. The fly doesn't seem to have a proper English name, at least we couldn't find one. Its Latin name is Platystoma seminationis, the first part of which means "big mouth". The family is named accordingly, Platystomatidae, that is, the "big mouths". Later on you may probably agree that these flies should be called "kissing mouths". These flies show mating rituals parts of which resemble those of humans. |
