Think they are called raptorial forelegs, if I am not mistaken. Or is that only for forelegs like that of the preying mantis?

Yah, you bet.

But I was pretty surprised when I used the macro lens to take a look at the seemingly normal fly. Gosh. haha.

But it was pretty tiny and my 1:1 couldnt capture closer.
