Marsh Fly
Sepedon sp.
41.0717, -73.5443
Field Notes
Description:
~1 cm long, striped eyes and thorax, elevated leg stance, posteriorly facing wings
Habitat:
in grassy meadow with goldenrod
Notes:
Behavior is of an active, diurnal, visual predator, it stalks around along plant stems and is very visually aware of the photographer, can fly from stem to stem and then starts a meticulous "stalking" of the plant stem and leaves and moves on again. I wonder what it eats? The larva are supposed to be predaceous.
