·        The fannid fly Fannia lustrata is a close relative of the Lesser House Fly F. canicularis. This series of images was taken in a London garden as the flies patrolled territorially several feet above the ground, often hovering as they did so and after they had come to rest. With thanks to Steven Falk for confirming the identity of this species.
