Dead black flies on dill flowers

I noticed about a week ago a dead black fly on my dill plants flower. At the time I thought maybe he had a little fly heart attack and didnt think much of it. Today I walked out and saw two dead flies on the flowers, I think this is strange. So I tried searching for an answer and found out nothing but the fact the flowers attract beneficial insects and flies, but not that it kills them.

Has anyone else ever observed this in thier garden?
 
I have tons of little dead black flies all over my plants. I believe they hatched out of the derth of manuer I liberally applied in my garden this year. They hatch, buzz about for a time, rest under a leaf at night or in rain, then they die. I note no harm to those plants from the experience.
