Yes got a lot too, but then my garden is a wilderness. They are lovely.
We have a lot of flies too. Hate them!

Loads round our way too - and bees. Did have an infestation of flying ants last week but they seem to have moved on. I love butterflies!

We've got quite a lot too, as well as bees and hovver flies.

We've even had a hummingbird moth which is fascinating to watch (if you're quick enough that is )
