Black fly season

Well, you know it’s May because the black flies are out!  So far it has only been the males flying about.  They are a nuisance but they don’t bite.  In a few days the females will be out too, and then we will be slathering on the insect repellent and wearing long sleeves and long pants in defense!  Those little flies can really chew you up!  And this is a dangerous time to be on the roads because the black flies drive the moose crazy and they run out of the woods and into the road trying to get away from them.  Many car accidents can be directly related to those nasty little flies!
