Coenomyia ferruginea - Pair

            A pair of rare flies in copula. The species is associated with deadwood and leaflitter. The larvae feed on other insectlarvae. Thought to go extinct in The Netherlands about 2008, but is found a few times the last 15 years in the centre and south of the country. I found this pair (The female is the bigger orange brown one) in National Park The Veluwezoom near my hometown. The adult flies live only for a short time in may and june. The name "geurvlieg" in Dutch means: odorfly. In literature it is said the flies smell like herb cheese, I think it smells like maggi or bouillon herbs. The species is very slow and walks more than it flies and wil not fly away when disturbed.
