Took a couple of photos of the insects that are around the compost bin this afternoon.

First up is a midge of some sort - it is actually shown the way it was found - i.e. on the underside of the rim of the lid of the compost bin.

Second is what I assume is a fruit fly - about 2mm in length, and these are white flies which are plentiful around the compost bin, but they are particularly skittish and tend to be mobile almost all the time, making getting one up close quite difficult - I used 3 extension tubes to get this close and it is still a large crop.
