英文注释:

"These are New Guinea's half-inch-long [1.3 centimeter long] antlered flies—harmless relatives of the Mediterranean fruit fly and other fruit pests. Astonishing in their similarities to their counterparts, male antlered flies fight over breeding territories and release a special breeding scent from glands, visible on the fly at right as a lump on the underside of his abdomen. With their weird projections and rainbow colors, these are flies worthy of Dr. Seuss."

—From "Flies That Fight," November 1997, National Geographic magazine
