Hey I just pulled a wing that looked like that from out of the dash of my car today! Funny thing was the rest of the body was missing... The print on the wing was just like that one... I wonder if we have them round here or if it was just similar?

What is the evolutionary reason for their legs being so long? They don't use them for anything (apart from to stand on, of course). They just dangle around  []

"The long legs are an adaptation to allow the fly to alight in grassy places."
