Fruit fly struts its stuff - Neotephritis finalis

Fruit fly struts its stuff - Neotephritis finalis
Shipley Nature Center, Huntington Beach, Orange County, California, USA
December 30, 2008
I've never seen one this animated. Lotza wing waving, mostly up, under, and around one encelia pedal. (Usually, they do their dance in the center of the bloom.)
