Predator-prey interactions on the wing: aerobatics and body size among dance flies and midges

Article Abstract:

The studies on predators mating swarms of male non-biting midges indicate that chironomid midges are excellent fliers with extraordinary high wing-muscle power, acceleration and tortuosity for their size. The performance of male empids Empis tesselatta Meigen and their prey are compared with their relative flight performance.
