we sent the dog (min pin) to chase the seagulls on the beach at Stonehaven .....fly away by Lenny Kravitz
This fly was resting on this aster on a cool day. Lots of bees around, but this was the only fly I saw.
... Fly yellow moon, you give this charmless world some grace.
Today, brave daughter and I headed out to try classic cross country skiing in the arctic circle. We passed through this special place with the moon hovering over the snow in Finnish forest stillness. A day I'll never forget ...
Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
William Blake from Songs of Experience. First published in 1794.

Scathophaga stercoraria, commonly known as the yellow dung fly or the golden dung fly, is one of the most familiar and abundant flies in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. As its common name suggests, it is often found on the feces of large mammals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, deer, and wild boar, where it goes to breed. The distribution of S. stercoraria is likely influenced by human agriculture, especially in northern Europe and North America. The Scathophaga are integral in the animal kingdom due to their role in the natural decomposition of dung in fields. They are also very important in the scientific world due to their short life cycles and susceptibility to experimental manipulations; thus, they have contributed significant knowledge about animal behavior
