Plague of flying things
I was out for a walk along the North East coast yesterday and was constantly
walking through greenfly and other tiny flying bugs. The wind was warm and from the South. Get the sprayer out! -- Jim Tyneside UK http://www.jimscot.plus.com |

Plague of flying things
I suspect they were St Marks fly or flying ants. They seem to hatch out
everywhere on the same day. There are millions round here today and yesterday, especially near Oil Seed Rape. Trevor East Yorkshire |

The message from Jim Scott contains these words: I was out for a walk along the North East coast yesterday and was constantly walking through greenfly and other tiny flying bugs. The wind was warm and from the South. Get the sprayer out! Why would we want to kill you with a spray gun just for perambulating among zephyrs, Jim? You seem pretty harmless so far, for all we know you just go about your daily life causing no harm to anyone. It would be foolish to spray you with something toxic and then realise you are actually of benefit to mankind, or at least, to this newsgroup. Janet  )-- Jim Tyneside UK http://www.jimscot.plus.com |
