Thornhill, however, has observed males approaching other males, assuming the female role until they get a grip on the food. Once they have it, they try to run away with it. The \"transvestite\" males, according to Thornhill, have an advantage over the other males because they have others do the hunting for them, leaving the \"transvestites\" more time to reproduce. In additon ^([sic]), the \"transvestite\" scorpion flies would avoid such hazards of the hunt as spider webs.",

Thornhill, however, has observed males approaching other males, assuming the female role until they get a grip on the food. Once they have it, they try to run away with it. The \"transvestite\" males, according to Thornhill, have an advantage over the other males because they have others do the hunting for them, leaving the \"transvestites\" more time to reproduce. In additon ^([sic]), the \"transvestite\" scorpion flies would avoid such hazards of the hunt as spider webs.",
