SATURDAY CRITTERS

I am once again in David’s garden in Malawi and we came across a plant that was covered in these flies.  There were none on any other plant which I found very strange.  I am linking this post with SATURDAY CRITTERS. 
Many thanks for visiting and also for all your comments

    How fascinating - that plant must have an attractive smell for the flies, or maybe it was their conference location and we just didn't get the memo!

    They look like out botflies. They must be attracted by the smell of the plant.

    Oh my goodness you captured these flies well. Right down to their big red eyes! I would hate to have one on ME, and I bet they bite. I am wondering if this plant had a certain different smell to draw them. Maybe they even may their eggs under the leaves?

    No flies on you! (strange phrase from older days in the ol' US of A.) Very detailed shots. Well done!

    Great macro shot of the flies. Kind of spooky how they all gathered on that one plant.

    Oh you're right that's enough flies to instigate the Aussie hand wave! #nofliesonus
    Happy Sunday Margaret.

    Once the flies fly, the sky will be dark in colour.
