User's notes

Large numbers of these small black flies attracted to this orchid. The flowers were newly opened and rain was approaching. No pollinia seen, but with so much activity they would probably have all been removed before I got there. Nearby Corunastylis clivicola only had occasional visits from similar sized flies, although I didn't get good photos. A second species of fly is shown in the accompanying sighting (4252459).
