Fascinating Flies

Fascinating Flies Rory Dimond 4 December 2025 Rory Dimond is a Wildlife Gardener and Conservationist with a passion for entomology. In this talk, Rory gives a broad overview of the range of different flies that can be found, not only on Hampstead Heath where he works with the Heath Hands, but more broadly across London and the UK. To many, flies are often unloved, underrated, overlooked or regarded as a nuisance. Rory’s talk will demonstrate the many and varied essential ecosystem services delivered by true flies, as well as revealing the fascinating diversity in form and function exhibited. Familiar or new to the world of true flies, there will be something for everyone in this talk!
