Hope you don't mind me kicking off this year's thread but these 2 were on the patio doors yesterday
Feel free to identify them as they are all flies to me ;-)

Couldn't believe it totally ignored the beetle! Been reading about Gold bugs, aka Golden Tortoise beetle, but they are in USA although apparently been found in UK, maybe come over on food?
I know it came from a tree in Motherwell lol as we had to remove one from Mother in laws garden last Sunday and it all got put in my car and taken to the dump...already had 3 spiders as not had a chance to hooverr it with the blooming weather...God knows wit a will find tomorrow when am all dressed up and driving to daughters graduation lol
No idea what this little one is. Still, it is enjoying the flower.
Drinking or blowing bubbles?
