A Half Hour of My Life
Common names that you might know,
from the top down,
dronefly or hover fly and flower fly too,
a bee mimic its larvae are gardeners friends,
in the middle, yes, it surrounds a rambling rosebud,
there are a few, not yes burst,
moving on and down,
a mint moth on my person, my laptop found,
to its left, no mistaking a cinnabar moth,
bright crimson red and black,
its larvae food plant, the poisonous common ragwort,
makes the larvae poisonous too,
bottom row on the left, a white shoulder house moth,
oh yes, its larvae, omnivores but loves wool and cotton clothes,
to the right, a flesh fly, its larvae help to control carrion,
found most often as an anglers companion.
