A full year, give or take a week.

No new flies.

Can you believe it! How the year flies by! A whole new year, a whole new search on Google. Nothing new on the "new flies"--tried wu chicago species ?

Almost another whole year without a new species...

Of course, this isn't all of them, but it's a good overview. But hey, if it's not on Google, they must have something to hide, right?

They're not the men you think they are at all. No, they're the rocket men...

Changing One Gene Launches New Fly Species

Was it the ever elusive "gay" gene?

If so will it be a blow fly?
