So I guess stupid fly season is starting here with the warm weather (we're hitting the 80s now) coming in. While being attacked by flies on patrol this morning, I got to thinking about how much different the fly behavior is here in Idaho versus back in CA.
In CA, while somewhat annoying, the flies would take the hint after you swatted at them a few times and go away for a while. When they did try to land on you, it always seemed like they were sneaky about it, trying to lightly land on you without you noticing it. Here in Idaho, they are little %$&*# bastards. It's like they're Kamikaze flies. They let you know when they land on you, and when you swat them away, they come back like a bullet out of a rifle and smack into you. And not just anywhere - always in the head area, with ears and eyes being favorite targets.
I really hate Idaho flies and cannot wait for the freezing weather to come back. What are the flies like in your state?
