And could be that there is a sweetness factor involved with horsefly bites - I was bitten multiple times :-)<br /><br />JimJim McCormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444322057532066466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-49682487170103251682010-07-19T18:38:50.322-04:002010-07-19T18:38:50.322-04:00'Twas a great weekend at Killdeer, to be sure....'Twas a great weekend at Killdeer, to be sure. Love your photo of the horsefly - sorry I wouldn't let one take a bite out of my face for you, though! Actually, I thought it was a bit odd that they didn't really seem to be interested in us at all. I expected to be bitten, but was never even harassed by one. I can only guess that the female horseflies were not around yet (I remember Jim Davidson talked about how male butterflies show up before the females... maybe it's the same for horseflies?). Still gathering my thoughts for blog posts...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.com
