At the end of last week there were so many hoverflies! Mostly Marmalade flies, which made me very happy, as that’s one of the flies we’re very interested in. Funny thing was that they weren’t at all afraid of us. Instead they were almost “ruining” our measurements as they returned to flowers they had left where we had started to do measurements. One day they sat down on a flower we were supposed to take pictures of, another day Amadeus was doing some sampling of abotic data and the flies gathered around and were very curious about both the equipment and his hand. Today they also had some interest in the abiotic sensor. Funny little creatures, those flies :)
