User's notes
There were in excess of 20 flies with Puppeteer Fungus just in this one small area of the bush and many more throughout the bush. The first image shows two of the affected flies close together with the fly on the left having been sprayed with fungus spores bursting from the fly on the right. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
