Description
Found these small flies (about 4-5mm) all over a plant this morn on my wetlands walk after a light rain. Several of them were doing this common fly practice of blowing bubbles. I have only captured it once before, but not this clear.
I have read that it is not totally understood why they do this, but some think it has to do with digestion.
I did notice that this fly would walk around the flower, licking up pollen, then sit still for a few seconds and blow a bubble, then slowly suck it back in. Then back to licking up the pollen-repeat... ;-)
Thanks for taking a look and any comments you leave. Have a good and safe Halloween all...
