Every spring, hundreds of houseflies gather on our porch railing to bask in the sun and socialize. At first I thought they were mating, but a close inspection showed there was no hanky-panky going on. So maybe this deck rail is their meeting place, where the flies flirt to find a mate, and then they fly off to make babies flies elsewhere. I enjoy running my hand along the rail and watching the flies take off, swarm, and land back down on the rail.
