Bug of the Week: Compost Flies

What’s in the compost heap this week?

compost-fruit-flies

Flies,

compost-flies

and more flies.

Any idea what kind they are?

Typically a well-managed compost heap shouldn’t have flies. This time of year, however, I try to grow these small flies because the nesting hummingbirds love them.
