no flies on our lichen


the bee like fly on our guardian lion is (probably) the drone fly, a large hive bee mimic.


It was very attracted to the lion for some reason, possibly to do with the lichens growing on the stone.

    Have been enjoying this http://thegardenpondblog.org.uk/
    which I found from a link on your blog somewhere, or maybe a link to a link. But jolly interesting all the same.

    Your lion looks stoic as he allows the fly to examine his face! I feel like I should expect any minute he'll be batting it away! :0)
