Ethology of Prolepsis tristis (Walker, 1851) (Diptera: Asilidae) in Northeastern Florida, U.S.A.

Öz:

Prolepsis tristis (Walker, 1851) foraged from vegetation, capturing prey in flight and immobilizingthem in flight or at the feeding site. Seven of the 10 prey were instances of cannibalism with femalespreying on other females and one male. Mating occurs in the tail to tail position. Female oviposition isin the soil. Feeding and mating peaks are from 10:00-11:00 AM, with two smaller peaks in the afternoonfrom 1:00-3:00 PM and 3:00-4:00 PM, respectively. Grooming behavior did not occur often and was brief,but resembles that of other species of Asilidae. Morphology, habitat, flight patterns, resting behavior, andpredators and parasites also are discussed
