Yellow-bodied flies- what are they?
Just today and yesterday I have seen numerous flies, maybe a little larger
than a hoverfly but otherwise similar, but with bright yellow bodies and black wings (seen at rest). These have all been apparently laying eggs, or doing sometthig very similar with their rear end, in or on the stems of roses- all but one of these were on young succulent rose stems. They spend several minutes doing whatever they are doing, then fly away. Does anyone recognise this description, and if so, what are they, are they harmful, beneficial, or interesting? They certainly LOOK interesting..... -- VX (remove alcohol for email) |
