TauYesterday as I sat under the willow, taking my break, having a fag, a fly landed in my hand. Rubbed its proboscis, rubbed its wings, scuttled about a bit, flew off. Hovered a bit zipped here and there, another fly appeared and did the same. It was bout twice the size of a standard house fly but was striped black and yellow, with nice patterns on the back. Interesting. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#allotment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiders</a>
