The answer to yesterday’s puzzle. In summer, these flies gather in large clouds and spiral upward. I once read these are mating flights, eggs and sperm mixing in the air, but I’ve lost the reference. These appear where cattle have been grazing, so I think they are a kind of dung fly.

A marshy area hosts swarms of flies, hovering above the grasses, backlit by the sun.

@cliffordbeshers They’re plentiful! I guess they have their mission in the grand scheme of things.

@cliffordbeshers Amazing photo. It looks like abstract pointillism!

@cliffordbeshers Great photo.

@manton any idea why this photo opens both in the MB app(3.1) and opens a browser? Glass photos do this as well.

@mcg @manton

I like to be able to click to go to the full image, so I wrap the image tag in a link with the title attribute set to “Click to enlarge.” That behavior is now automatically produced in the iOS apps, I think. But my link now makes the iOS apps jump around unpleasantly, so I would like to see an image tag handled the same way in the browser as in the apps. If a method exists, I don’t know it.

@mcg That’s a bug in the app.

@fgtech i agree. I wonder if the pointilists thought of bugs?

@cliffordbeshers I bet they did. They must have! Lots to think about with all of those hours making dots at that scale.
