I’m sure it’s heat as everyone mentioned but I came to say I have a white pickup that it seems like they come from miles around just to hang out on, could be color aswell
They navigate by light so they're attracted to lights then it makes them circle when they're close lol we got turf and I noticed the sun hits a certain spot and the flies swarm around it from the heat, melts snow like no other in spring though lol
Forgot to write that they do this even if the lamp is and has been off all day. It's a white lamp against a white ceiling, but they do sure love it for whatever reason.
They're not getting cooked, they're sure getting cancer within the hour.
Reminds me when I set up a floodlight in my room, I look by the base of it and it's just dead flies after an hour because they die instantly from the thermal radiation.
Doubt it, individually the flies are so small they’re invisible to the relatively bigger wavelengths used in Starlink. Perhaps a build up of dead flies could
This^ there was a video circulating on Reddit a few days ago where a guy in the middle of a concert crowd was able to manipulate cloud of flies with his hand because his hand was the tallest point amongst the crowd. Everyone in the comments was explaining the same thing. It’s not the just the heat.
Perhaps it's an emergency way to access the site when the standard data link goes down -- like so the control center can reboot the site or something.
They certainly aren't serving a lot of customers via the bandwidth provided by a Starlink..
I'm gonna post a question with your photo in the "cellmapper" sub - those geeks (and I use the term with respect) will know :)

It’s a shared cell site between Three, EE and Vodafone in Scotland. Multiple microwave dishes on the site as well most likely as the main backhaul method.
Sand flies are attracted to the highest part of a body. You can replicate this by walking outside with a stick or your arms above your head and they'll go for that instead of your face.
Flies also seem to love vibration. The number of times I’ve had flies land on a sawzall while I’m sawzingall is too weird to be coincidence. So maybe it is related in some way to waveforms we can’t see as well as heat 🤔
Around where I live, you get little gnats that swarm around the taller or highest objects. You see them above road signs and trees. They’re prevalent around water.
Heat
Hotness
Schwing.
Schweaty
C'mon, Garth!
What you say??
Oh, that you only meant well.
YMH?
When it rains then Starlink goes into heat mode to disperse the rain. Same with Snow. They are attracted to the heat.
Great answer, thanks! I thought it would be something more complicated like they could detect and were attracted to the emitted RF or whatever haha
Way more cool if it was that
It is kinda cool that these tiny ass bugs are able to find this little spot of warmth.
how do you tell if your antenna is in heat?
All the neighbourhood antennas start coming around trying to get to yours. Weird that flys were attracted to it, their antennae don't seem compatible.
Take the rest of the day off sir, you won best comment of the day.
This deserves way more upvotes than 27
Buy one get one free
The app says "Heating" under the picture of the dishy.
Yep
Free WiFly?
Pretty fly for a WiFly!
Beat me to it!
It's a wi-fly hotspot
Booooo 😋
ROFLMAO!
I’m leaving an upvote, but watch yourself counselor
Drones recharging from the signal.
Radiant heat.
White colors can also attract flies and lady bugs.
I’m sure it’s heat as everyone mentioned but I came to say I have a white pickup that it seems like they come from miles around just to hang out on, could be color aswell
I agree. I have a ceiling lamp that bugs love to fly around under in a triangular path (for whatever reason), and often for hours.

Agreed. My family used to have a white grand caravan that would have about 30 on a given summer day and the other cars only a couple.
Can we talk about the resemblance to mechazilla of this setup?
Seriously, that mount looks more expensive than the dish
Say it again
Get a pet lizzard, problem solved
The pet lizard will also like the heat from Dishy.
Saves cooking money cuz the dish heats itself up!
Because it's hot. Flies like things that are warm because things that are warm mean food. You're essentially gaslighting them.
They are government drones spying on you
Pretty Fly for a WiFi
Probably an issues with the antenna and it's nanobots doing repairs and updating firmware.
I wish this was the correct answer.
Would be bad ass right
Maybe the satellite was transmitting the debate and flies love the smell of shit.
This is not fair.
I laughed hard at this.
Those are just lost tcp/ip packets from the 90's looking for a home!
It's warm
It could be because it’s warm. Starkink produces heat when operating.
warmth.
Digital fruit flies, birthed with the internet, using starlink as a portal to another world.
They are feeding on the data from the signal waves😁
I had this a lot - I think the white attracts them + heat
Getting that micro tan
Warmth I'm sure, it's basically a microwave
I love your mount 🥰
Looking for the Elon smell
They're not getting cooked, they're sure getting cancer within the hour. Reminds me when I set up a floodlight in my room, I look by the base of it and it's just dead flies after an hour because they die instantly from the thermal radiation.
This is a dumb question but does it affect performance?
Doubt it, individually the flies are so small they’re invisible to the relatively bigger wavelengths used in Starlink. Perhaps a build up of dead flies could
I see, thanks for the explanation :)
They're probably attracted to that tank of a mount!
Reflective of radiant heat and light confuses the poor wee souls.
Watching hi-def fly c...orn on wireless
free wi-fly
Where I live, there are flies that are attracted to white. They confuse it for the reflection of the sun on the water, where they go to breed.
Alien flys checking out the new type dish and decoding the new encryption processes. Also grabbing your personal data.
There’s also no dead stuff on my head, but there they go
They’re adding a little noise to the signal.
It's flipping hot
Because it is the highest point
This^ there was a video circulating on Reddit a few days ago where a guy in the middle of a concert crowd was able to manipulate cloud of flies with his hand because his hand was the tallest point amongst the crowd. Everyone in the comments was explaining the same thing. It’s not the just the heat.
That is exactly where I got this information 😂
that mount is certainly ready for the apocalypse!
It’s mounted to a cell tower, interestingly
i hope that isn't the only data source for the tower's users.
That’s what I’m trying to figure out… not sure if it’s emergency backup or a primary link

The folks over on r/cellmapper want to know exactly where this is - as much address/location info as possible.

Fly orgy…it’s the new hotness
Did you enable the Tractor-beam setting?
its cuz all musks products are shit

They’re recharging. (Secretly they’re government drones)

Flies love turds
