Ecology
[edit]One part of the article infers that the flies live in the bat's fur, later it infers that the fly colony is elsewhere (as the guard flies repel the bats with their high frequency buzz). It might be helpful if the flies' location could be clarified. GrahamBould (talk) 18:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Getting a photo
[edit]I can't see any indication of a photo at Flickr. One could be taken at the New Zealand Arthropod Collection perhaps, or from another online source. Richard001 (talk) 10:10, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah it would be good to get a photo.. I created this puppy over about a week earlier this year and actually only got started.. there's much more to be added especially about the uniqueness of it's social behaviour given that it's a member of the fly whanau.. One day I'd like to come back and finish it off... Hopefully we can get a photo, maybe if someone contacted a reseracher who's worked with them in recent years we could find something.. I'll look into it.Kotare (talk) 00:28, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

- Landcare donated over 1000 Des Helmore illustrations to Commons, so we finally have an illustration. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 11:50, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
