Wierd little flies

July 1, 2006

In past years, I must have thought these were little bits of fluff from trees or something, but my son point out to me: they’re flies! 

About a half cm. in length, they float around almost, but not quite, by air currents alone.  Maybe they use the wings to steer.  Picture shows one that he coaxed to land on our DVD of The Telltale Heart.

The amazing, endless variety of our natural world…

    I had one of these land on me just this afternoon…what are they exactly….its strange and all my mates were in fits.

    Ha-ha
