Lispe
Lispe is a large, cosmopolitan genus of predatory muscid flies comprising approximately 180 described species. Adults and larvae are both predatory, with adults hunting small insects and larvae inhabiting damp sand and mud around water bodies. The genus is notable for complex cursorial courtship displays involving visual and vibratory signals, though the biology of most species remains poorly documented. Lispe occurs in all zoogeographical regions except Antarctica.
