Coenosia attenuata, Ed Yong, Neil Stevenson, Michael Pollan, Growing Carrots, Poaching Eggs
Coenosia attenuata is fascinating! It’s a type of fly often nicknamed the "killer fly." Native to the Mediterranean region, it’s a predator in both its larval and adult stages.

This makes them super beneficial for controlling pests in greenhouses and gardens.
