--001a11c2650e720bb604e16289ed Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 This Fishfly (Chauliodes) was lazily flopping about on the windowsill early in the morning. It was so lethargic and docile I picked it up, put it on a cutting board, took it inside and shot a few pictures. Apparently adult Fishflies are noted for their weak, fluttery movements. Note the one-sided feathery antennae characteristic of these insects: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9273266213/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9273270829/ Adult fishflies do not feed but have formidable looking jaws. The larvae are predaceous though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9276057268/ Corydalidae (Fishflies and Dobsonflies) are associated with well-oxygenated clean waters which is good news for L Torment. The third of the megalopteran trio, Alderflies (Sialidae) are more likely to be found in polluted freshwaters. So far none of these- good.
