Black Flies



Gentlemen - gentlemen, the question is not how large the black flies are,
but what they are capable of.  Adirondack Black Flies have been known to
congregate in such numbers that children go to bed before sundown.  These
very flies have been known to claim certain areas of the Adirondacks, form
military ranks with their bodies and herd people into the center to use as
food.

Their only true enemy is the Adirondack Mosquito which vies for the same
airspace in June and early July.  Unfortunately for tourists, the two have
developed a working agreement - the flies bite and gobble the muscle while
the mosquitos drain the same victim.  It is amazing to watch (through
plexiglass blinds of course) as the human body simply goes dry and withers
away.

uhm - the mosquito larvae are good for killies tho <-----  required killie
