Say hello to Buzzy!
Buzzy is a flesh fly (family Sarcophagidae) and was happy that someone wanted to take photos.
Thanks for your patience, Buzzy.

I was looking at some jokes about flies and the website was either AI generated or poorly translated because it had this comedy gold to offer:
7. Why do flies land on desserts? I heard it’s covered in chocolate!
8. Why not use email? Because they love to buzz around the internet!
9. What is the name of a wingless fly? to walk!
10. Why do flies land on the computer? Searching for errors!
11. Why don’t flies land on computers? Because he is afraid of this world!
12. What is the name of a wingless fly? to walk!
13. Why not fly as an exercise? They love watching the match from the wall!
14. What do you get if you cross a fly with a dog? The fly barks and chases its tail!

Stuck at home again today, so I hunted around the garden until I finally found a female Common Halfband hoverfly to bookend my recent capture of the male on a daisy flower. This time it's a combination of two hand-held images to get what I could in focus - passably in this instance. Notice that unlike the male's eyes that touch in the centre, the female's are quite separate.

This is the fly catcher bought by Naeema last time. You can see that there are a LOT of flies in the tent. Naeema wrote to me that even outside, flies are everywhere. It's very annoying and it can bring diseases, so I'm glad her family was able to buy this.
That is where your donations go: to buy useful things as well as sometimes providing some warmth to Naeema's siblings (see the Kinder post)

If only all insects were this obliging, Phaonia subventa, sitting on my thumb.

No opportunity to get away from home this weekend, so it's time for something from my quiet garden. We see many hoverflies at this time of year (spring here in Victoria, AUS). I finally decided I'd better find out their name - Common Halfband - which is one of the two most common species. With the eyes touching at the top of the head, I think this is a male.

Got "First Post" advantage on the most obnoxious GNOME Shell prank extension, which recently added ladybugs (not just common flies anymore!) to crawl your screen yet their size is not taking screen density into account: https://github.com/walid-rouibah/ambed-fly/issues/1
Real coccinellas are 6-7™ mm! 🤏
If I had done a PhD on fruit flies like @mjg59, I'd be incensed about this 🧐
Also, the bugs are eating the CPU, causing lots of damage: https://github.com/walid-rouibah/ambed-fly/issues/2

Our garden Chicory is still flowering, and this Yellow-legged Flower Fly (Syrphus rectus) took full advantage of it.
(Learning how to use the flash with the Fuji 😊.) -

💀 NEW: #Rafflesia, the world’s largest #flowers, are parasitic #plants that smell like rotting flesh to attract pollinating #flies. With 42 #species found only in Southeast Asian #rainforests and 60% facing #extinction from #deforestation, their survival depends on #Indigenous #communities, protected #forests, ecotourism revenue, and international cooperation across six nations.
