Melangyna umbellatarum - Hoverfly
The larvae eat the aphids, good for biological control, and the adults are pollinators. Males generally hover to attract a female; females hover to find places to deposit eggs.

Plenty of aphids this year for the bugs. I don't use any pesticides etc. I allow nature to take care of it. #circleoflife #ecosystems #wildlifegarden #entomology #gardening #bugs #nature

Hoverfly after the aphids on my roses 🌹
I don't treat my roses, or any of my garden plants. I allow the insects to keep them under control.

Happy Summer Solstice.
The summer solstice, June 21st, in the Northern Hemisphere, is the longest day of the year and a significant point for plants. They use it as a trigger to change their life cycle.

Artificial light from street lamps has been found to reduce flower visits by nocturnal pollinators by 62%. I highly recommend this book, The Darkness Manifesto by Johan Eklof. Entire ecosystems need darkness to survive.
