Is this hoverfly drinking sweat from my hand?

Great selection there, last one is probably taking salts/nutrients

That is what I thought - but I have never seen in the UK before - and never a hoverfly.

Thank you, the trick is to leave pieces of wood lying around in the garden and every now and again look under them. This is not always popular with other garden users.
The more wood of course the better and possibly more complaints .

It's actually implanting self-replicating DNA which will combine with your own in due course - have you seen that film, 'The Fly' ?

Never mind three, I've never seen even one. What a fascinating creatures.

I particularly like the bug shot. (Is there some dust on your sensor?)

Thanks for that I think there is some I will have to clean it.

I hope that goes well. I am having real difficulty getting my A7ii sensor completely clean.

Have you tried the wood idea? I would be amazed, if you leave 10+ pieces of wood in the garden, check them once a fortnight and never found one within 6 months.
They are small and fast moving but you will see them.
You will probably get complaints as well.

I'll talk to the Gardener.
