To meet the fly hunters who try to get them into the Old Sludge Beds.

The presence of this special fly means that we must be doing something right in supporting many of the species that make our county so special."

We must be doing something right? You sound pretty sure of your game plan, Steve.

Noah could have left chiggers, ticks, fleas, flies and mosquitoes off the Ark and I would not feel diminished by the lack of diversity in nature one bit.

I have a family member that is always posting on facebook about animals going extinct....

She is totally sucked into the animal rights wackos meme...

I keep telling her, just because a animals rights group claims a certain animal is "going" extinct, it's really a money raising scam...

I doubt a fly will generate much buzz about "extinct" creatures..

So did he just trap and kill a fly whose species hasn’t been seen in 147 years? The fiend!

It wasn’t Basil the beloved fly, was it?
