Observational nature study based on Primroses (Primula vulgaris) growing in my lawn.
I am currently encouraging more flowers to grow in the short grass by less frequent mowing and raising the cut height. Primroses have self seeded rapidly in shady edges.
The Dark-edged Beefly, Bombylius major, is a common visitor, hovering just above the flowers as it uses it's long proboscis to feed.
