Hoverfly Life Cycle
Here’s my lazy-girl but super effective hack: \t1.\tPlace your copper/pital utensils or pooja items directly in the dishwasher. \t2.\tPop in a Finish Lemon dishwasher tablet – the lemon works like magic on tarnish. \t3.\tRun a normal wash cycle. \t4.\tTake them out and boom — spotless, shiny, and like new! No scrubbing, no hassle… just one wash and done! 🙌 #diwali #diwalispecial #diwali2025 #mumsgreatlife

Even when slowed down 10 times the wings of this hoverfly are still a blur in flight, but it has time to clean the pollen off its legs. It's probably the very common Sphaerophoria scripta. These can complete a full life cycle in as little as sixteen days (egg to egg-laying adult) and have up to nine generations in a year. It is migratory and overwinters as larva, which feeds on aphids. | Sussex Wildlife Trust
