Apologies for the late response. Thank you all so much for your kind help. I've got to admit that I was frightened of them before I knew what they were! Another piece of the puzzle as to where they came from may be seaweed. My husband and I collect it off the beach then soak it in the water butt before putting it with our potato compost and in the garden. I often use the water it has soaked in to feed the lawn and plants. I think I used some of that water to top up the pineapple water! After you telling me about the hoverflies liking a horrible stench -the pineapple water didn't really smell that much - and the penny dropped I took a look at the water butt/seaweed and they were in there as well! Thank you all again Kindest regards Lynda
