There are quite a few in my back garden that annoy my JR they hover just above her head and I watch her snatching at them most of the day when she is out there laying in the sun.
Sometimes she just gives up and comes in drops in her bed and covers herself up with blankets.
I think its to get away from them.
Such a pity that they are not in a language I can read. I didn’t do Latin in school and I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat, Latin is a dead language, but by the by, interesting chart, I didn’t know there were so many, thanks

Neither did I tbh.
I remember camping with my parents in Cornwall when I was little and having lots of these around. We all thought they were wasps so we moved our tent to another part of the site, only to be told by a fellow camper that 'They be 'ovver flies, they do be'.
There are not nearly so many hoverflies around as there used to be . On sunny summer days as a child I used to love laying in the long grass watching them
