Sorry I'm very new to gardening. I've seen lots of these flies on Portuguese laurel plants. Can you please identify what they are and if I need to do something about it?
Can't say what type of fly these are but its fairly natural for flies to use shrubs as a place to shelter and rest rather than constantly flying about and never heard of a fly that was a problem for laurel plants. I don't think you need to do anything about them being there.
There are like 40-50 on each 80cm tall plant so got worried if they can cause some damage to young plants. I haven't even planted some and don't want them to die on me lol
