While we were there, we saw at least two other occasions of this laying of a white pellet on the topside of the leaf, plus I've observed it also on beech leaves, so it's definitely a widespread behaviour - just haven't yet figured exactly what is going on yet! Any thought, queries, observations, always welcome :) I guess the question is, do hoverflies poo?Leeds teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265084954435828991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870114610925132512.post-174465038931550882012-07-26T14:54:29.107+01:002012-07-26T14:54:29.107+01:00Nice pictures :-).

Looking forward to the sampling next week after all the weeding this week.<br />Interesting what the hoverfly did on the leaf, if it was really lying eggs. Were there a lot of aphids on the plant or nearby?Reading teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632997670738539741noreply@blogger.com
