Mating Mecoptera(Scorpionflies). Males give off pheromones to attract females from a distance. To entice a female closer a male offers the female a nuptial meal of an insect he has caught with his gangly hind legs.

One part of the meal is a species of hover fly (Syrphidae) and the other is a species of blowfly (Calliphoridae). Mating may last up to 10mins.
