Flies - The Noon Fly

First seen on Sunday 31st August 2025 at Cragside

This fly actually has a much more pleasant name than most flies. Called the Noon Fly simply because it can be seen basking in the sun at noon. Easy to identify, as it is jet black, with a vivid orange/gold face, feet and patches the base of its wings.
