The pursuit of a neuron that participates in binocular interaction in a stalk-eyed fly began in 1950 and is still continuing. The pursuit led to numerous questions. Among others they refer to: the performance of the eyes, the allometry of the male's ornamental character, the optically guided behavior of the Diopsidae, the inter- and intrasexual competition for mates, the evolution of the eyestalks, and finally the study of amber fossils. Two important outcomes of these trials and errors are: In the stalk-eyed fly Cyrtodiopsis whitei, the reproductive success of two competing males - mating in succession with the same female within 1 h - is similar for the large and the small males if they happen to be the first to mate with the female. If, however, a smaller male happens to be the second to mate, then his reproductive success is significantly lower than that of a large male if he were the second to mate.
