No new flies.
Still no new flies....Feb 8, 2005
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...
Wu No Nu Flies
Was it the ever elusive "gay" gene?
If so will it be a blow fly?
