parts are a series of sharp lancets (four in the male, 

 six in the female), enclosed in a lip-like organ. They are 

 remarkable fliers and are fond of warm weather and sun-

 dew secreted by plant lice or scale insects. 



The larvae are found in rotting logs, under stones in 

 ditches, or in mud along streams or other bodies of water. 

 They are predacious and feed on various little animals.
