A dipterist's dipteron, the elusive Borboropsis puberula. The only member of the family in the UK. Restricted to the Scottish Highlands. This one from Ben Lawers is probably the 7th UK record.

Check out that lovely Doli! 💕
All insects have six legs, but beyond that, they're incredibly diverse. Move slowly, look closely, and you're sure to find something cool near you.

A FLYing visit to the Fynbos, Western Cape, South Africa

A fabulous opportunity to film in an incredible habitat (thanks BBC)- in terms of flora its unique but maybe not the most pristine in terms of disturbance. That didn't seem to perturb the flies...SO MANY BEEFLIES
