Crazy Cool Fly! Garden Friend
Check out this excellent and *stylish* little fly seen today by Irene Apo near Cambridge in NZ.
Steve Kerr from Otago Museum has identified it as the NZ endemic species *Poecilohetaerella antennata*. Not a lot is known about the biology of these.

Frog – jump on the water lily! frog is calling you for a swim!
The frog is green and cheerful. A big fan of swimming. He can swim anywhere. In a river, in a lake. Anywhere with a lot of water. The frog is green. With big feet. Eyes on top. It's comfortable to swim. I want to swim.

In my new YouTube #video, I tell the #hypothetical story of a #Histiostomatidae #mite that lived its #lifehistory in the #dung heap of the #dinosaur #Edmontosaurus #annectens during the Late #Cretaceous. It developed #fungivorously within the dung and, when conditions deteriorated, was #transported by #flies to a new habitat (phoresis). All images and footage created with #AI assistance, except photos of free-living mites.

Life in the countryside.
Just got back to Shropshire after being away for several months. As the house heated up the cluster flies started to wake up.
I gave the room and vents a quick spray with Raid. Now I'm being bombarded by hundreds of dying flies. I have already swept up the first batch!
Nobody wants to mess with the Bald-faced Hornet, so much so that other insects will mimic it. The Bald-faced Hornet Fly (Spilomyia fusca) is a pollinator native to the Northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada. Forest County, WI. Nikon z50, 50-250mm #insects #flies #macrophotography
Lagushka – already in a water!
Lagushka (frog) – this is funny green creature. It can jump. And do quack! And do croak! And, also, it can swim very good! This summer was cold. And, even more - full of rains. It is best thing for the frogs, they have fun now.

Friday Flyday! A mating pair of big-headed flies, Pipunculidae, photographed in Texas.
Thousands of flies keep landing on North Sea oil rigs then taking off a few hours later – here’s why...
"Birds aren’t the only creatures that fly south for the winter."

Today’s waddle in local patch was quiet. Birds were hiding in the bushes and flying away as soon As they spotted me. Luckily there were plenty of mushroom and insects. Here are some photos of the latter.

Humberto (edit: Amy) visited local patch. Wind gusts and rain showers. In between I sat down next to my favourite tree log to watch insects (because birds were hiding in the bushes)
