neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Kay, you need more time in the countryside. No offence meant, but Dung Flies are probably one of our most common insects. 100s on a cowpat is not uncommon. In fact a fellow I know know's it's time for his yearly bath when they start landing on him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
