Brian Henstock’s “half-size wasps” which hovered over the yellow area of his
New Å®ÉúСÊÓƵ (Letters, 14 September, p 53) were undoubtedly
hoverflies, true flies which often mimic bees.
They are frequently seen on dandelions and similar yellow plants, so the
attraction to the magazine page would seem to indicate that colour is the
trigger, without need for scent, fluorescence, or even the fascination of
New Å®ÉúСÊÓƵ’s contents.
