@georgemcgavin.bsky.social I rescued this one from the same pond Lily and he spend 15 mins cleaning himself, so it must have been VERY sticky 😘

@britishspiders.bsky.social I am hoping that I've managed to save this gorgeous huge fella, which I scooped out of a bird bath...

Ever wondered how a Hoverfly keeps itself clean 😘 I find it fascinating to watch 😍

I'm wondering if the flicking is to test how sticky the staemens might be before landing, so they dont get trapped 🤔

I don't use any chemicals in my garden but I think you're right about the drunken Hoverflies, as I'm sure I heard them humming sea shanties 😘🤪🍷 They definitely can't get back out with ease and I took the dead-looking ones out and both were slowly kicking their legs.

@georgemcgavin.bsky.social I've just taken out one of the Hoverflies I thought was dead to look at it under my scope and its legs are moving slightly... any ideas. Dying, poisoned or overload of nectar?

@georgemcgavin.bsky.social A partial update for you on the flicking Hoverflies... I just saw them trying to land on the pond Lily, not flicking but very cautious and here's why...they get caught in the sticky middle... 2 dead already in there which I've scooped out to the side...

Poor little fella... thanks for the info as I didn't think many things would harm slugs, apart from Blackbirds 🤪 very interesting.

Good morning G. I'm just having coffee watching all the buzzing activity and saw another Hoverfly flicking a flower head and had a thought (I do have them occasionally 😄)... is it checking for scary monsters like Crab Spiders before it lands?

jankitty.bsky.social @jankitty.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Well said Mr G... it's all waffle, without any attempts of integrity. Mindblowing really... would you make a hole in your own ship, see it slowly sinking, then carry on making the hole even bigger? Staggering stupidity. 🤬

Good morning G. @georgemcgavin.bsky.social @britishspiders.bsky.social I must admit that I'm proud of this pic I just took... is it a type of Crab spider. Soooooooo tiny 😍 It stopped eating its brekkie to pose especially for me 😘

When they sit on your hand, it's amazing to have such a close up look at them, and he seemed quite happy and didn't want to get off... he's now happily in my mini meadow ;-) I must look at the different varieties of both Crickets and Grasshoppers to expand my knowledge ;-)

This is a stunning Grasshopper. I tried to find out the varieties but I'm even more confused now 🤣😘😍
