Flys around carrots

[Ruud]

Hi

For about a week now i have notise small black flys gathering up at the top of my fleece. When i kill them a few days later i see more gathering up at the top. Their always group together in one spot in one specific area

i am growing fly a way

What could this be?

Please take a look at pictures

It's too early for carrot fly, which are tiny anyway. I'm not sure what they are (mosquitoes?) but they could be goodies, so are you sure you need to kill them?

I can't see the flies in your pics, but could they be St Mark's flies? It's the right kind of time for them

Very good insect ID site that - after years of wondering what the black millipedes? hanging out of my potatos were I finally know they're black snake millipedes,

thank you.

Did you use any compost in the soil when planting. Look like thrips. although it's been a bit cool for them to come out recently.

Revenge?

they're probably just attracted to the colour white: I know that fungus gnats are
