I was in the garden this afternoon, when I noticed two blue bottle flies shagging on a leaf. Well, it is spring. One of the flies decided to take flight and the pair of them, still adjoined, tumbled down into a wispy cobweb. I grabbed my camera, expecting an incredulous spider to arrive ready to parcel them up.
Did they escape? Were they eaten by a spider? I filmed the ensuing drama and you can watch all 49 seconds of it below. If you've ever wondered what a shagged out fly looks like, watch 'til the end.
