Now's the season for #snowflies! #Boreus #hyemalis #snöslända. When temperatures reach above 0 you can see them mating on the snow. The male tries to catch the female with his fork-like appendages on his back, after some struggle, as the female climbs on top of the male they decide to mate #insects
