31 Days Wild: 9th May 2025

Today I made what is called a ‘hoverfly lagoon’! In the summer I often see hoverflies in the garden and I learn from the Wildlife Trust’s fact sheet that some hoverfly larvae eat aphids. The fact sheet also gave instructions for making a hoverfly lagoon being the equivalent of a bee hotel.
