Damned yellow flies!

[Rich Z]

Man, what a scourge they are! I would fear a plague of them much more that I would locusts.

Last year we went away for the month of June and avoided most of them. This year we went in May, and they were here to welcome us home.

I've got a couple of mosquito magnets running that are sucking down some of them, but when we walk down the path to another part of our property, we get swarmed by them. They will bite right through our T-shirts and are incessant with their biting attacks.

If I had a button right here that would make them entirely extinct ... *CLICK*!

But until they taper off, presumably at the end of the month, our outside activities are going to be severely curtailed. Just no fun at all having to keep at least one hand at the ready to swat at those SOBs.
