This male hammer-headed fruit fly (Themara sp., family Tephritidae) sports unusually long eye stalks, superficially resembling the true stalk-eyed flies (family Diopsidae). The males are highly territorial, each staking out a small favorable patch on the surface of a fallen log near the rainforest floor. Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
