At this time of the year my shabby chic of a kitchen becomes adorned with dark ceiling shadows that on closer inspection prove to be My Favourite Insect - The Hoverfly. In case you dont yet have a "Favourite Insect" I urge you to consider these delightful creatures. They are so tame that they come and sit on your finger and you can en take them outside to the "Recovery Flower" -preferably one near the back door since once you embark on Hoverfly Rescue you could be busy for some time.
If, like me, you are lucky enough to have been ripped off by bogus builders from Sheffield and now have an unsightly carbuncle of a "conservatoy" attached to your home - you could even invest in a Hover Fly Catching Net which provides literally hours of stifling fun.
It has to be said that it is to everyone's advantage to take care of the critters - especially things that fly about and pollinate our veggies. Be Seeing You.

ReplyDeleteHoover flies are bigger,noisier and you have to lift your feet up so they can get underneath.
