Spotted this bark fly running around on a compost bin lid. What I didn't realise at the time was it was stopping to pick up passengers.

    Outstanding. The time lapse shot is a new twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. bowdown.gif

    Brian,

    An excellent set and that GIF is brilliant!

    These look similar to the ones on my midges, not the common hypopi type but fully active forms of another group of mites.

    Thanks all for the comments and info - appreciated :)
    Autumn does seem to be the time when these mites look for transport to pastures new.
