Sepsis punctum, Heesch, Netherlands Really tiny, erratic and hard to capture. I first though it was an ant running on a leaf. This species is in the Sepsidae, which in English means &quot;Black Scavenger Flies&quot; but in Dutch is called &quot;Wink flies or wave flies&quot;. This is due to their behavior of constantly flapping their wings even when not in flight.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/163095/sepsis_punctum_heesch_netherlands.html" title="Sepsis punctum, Heesch, Netherlands"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/163095_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=2JCAq9Gnw3gus1OiqBH10Rl%2BdCE%3D" width="200" height="196" alt="Sepsis punctum, Heesch, Netherlands Really tiny, erratic and hard to capture.
