FlyDay 19th September is International Talk Like a Pirate Day (a "parodic" holiday thought up in 1995)
there is a bit of discussion from today in HFG here:

a muscid fly in the polytunnel.
This one had a rather attractive abdomen I thought (is that just me?!). Maybe a more bristly one would have been more pirate-like.

Hope everyone has a very Happy Good Flyday Friday! HGFDF!
A few more images and things here if anyone is interested;
Not really sure if this is actually a flesh fly (Sarcophagidae) - Flies are so hard to work out especially when I use a googleSnap approach matching pictures rather than working through a proper key like I would try to do for a plant.
Anyway I thought it looked worth posting.

Time is accelerating.

Managed to catch this at around lunchtime today when I was searching for my photo for today, didn't have a lot of time so it was a quick grab and run. Have a great weekend everyone.
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

We have been having a very mild winter so far this year.
It is Flyday Friday
Male Scathophaga stercoraria on cow dung
Comment from Rui: This is another species of Scathophaga. S. stercoraria has black antennae. The dead midge is a female Chironomidae.
I think I've got the ID correct, but my record is not that good lol so please correct me if I've mucked up again!!! Whichever of the lovely hoverflies it is, it sure was good to see it in the garden on a February day. Have a great Flyday! HFDF ;0)
on flyday
Dung flies on dung with some sun
After copulation the male holds and guards the female for some time to prevent her from mating with any other males.
Its raining and cold here. Parts of Texas are getting snow or sleet and it will likely freeze here tonight.
I shot this robberfly in Louisiana at 3:44am in August. It was so foggy and dark, I couldn't see 20 feet in front of me. My pants and shoes were soaked from the dew on the grass.
A hover fly enjoying the merry white flowers of a Wedding Bush (Ricinocarpos pinifolius). Happy Fly Day Friday everyone. Have a lovely weekend!
so now that I have finally got in, and specially for for Friday flyday , I'm sending out a Snail-killing fly to sort it all out.
Happy Friday Flyday
I think this is a cluster fly- Pollenia sp - It appeared in the bedroom and probably came from the seal of the velux window where they gather and spend the winter.
Not sure if it is a he or a she.

Edit 13/08/2019:
See comments below. Rui says this is possibly Protocalliphora azurea which would be unusual/new to Ireland. Fascinating how you can take a picture then have the right person examine it and it takes on a whole new dimension. Thanks Rui!
a fly on a lambs ear leaf (Stachys byzantina)
I bought 3 of these as plug plants and intend to grow them on as container plants.
I want to have them for spotting the Wool-Carder bee which is not yet in County Down but likely will be within a few years,
The Wool carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) is a recent arrival in Ireland. It appeared in County Wexford in 2015 and has been expanding ever since.
...chasing flies with a camera. A few flies about in a bit of warmth last monday but hard to get close to them - this was the best I could do.
anyway its one for FlyDay Friday

Marsh flies are common along the edges of ponds and rivers, and in marshy areas. The adults drink dew and nectar. The larvae prey on or become parasites of gastropods (slugs and snails). The occasional sciomyzid attacks snail eggs or fingernail clams.

on the patio wall
Rui Andrade said that another picture taken on same flowerhead and about the same time was a female Anthomyiidae but I am not sure if the fly in this photo is the same individual or a different fly and maybe a different species/family! Im not capable of working out anything like that for myself!
Happy FlyDay Friday!
