Wonderfully successful shot ErnieR and thank you.
What incredible little flies....part of a whole genus that needs greater appreciation once 'we' get over our dislike of the obviously harmful species. A neighbour in mid-Flynn has Billy Buttons in flower. I wish there were more in our local bushland but so many areas were scraped bare as the suburbs were established.
