First horse fly of the year

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

The only good horsefly is a dead one.

Seems to be a good year for mozzies as well.

Got bitten between the shoulder blades last week when logging up, went straight through my t shirt, bloody hurt for days!

It's the bloody midge season up here now !! Not seen many horse flys yet.

I sat down for a break and had a really itchy back. Got home and my partner counted 12 bites. And a swollen arm and hand. Don't even ask about the rest of my week complete disaster. Just glad awkward rigging job went so smoothly

I hate them , none about at the moment but they won't be far away . Roll on

I sat outside fixing my daughter's bike on Sunday evening, ended up with two patches of bites on my back - about 9 in one patch and half a dozen in the other. Going down now but itched like buggery for a few days...

I am sure that some people attract biteing insects more than others, I heard that eating garlic keeps them at bay, but I don't buy it, I eat a lot and get bitten a lot.

 

Anyone found a good method of fly/mozzy control?

Got nailed on the bicep in the Treeworker tent at the show yesterday.

Killed the little bugger but its itching like a mofo now.

 

I seem to attract them and react badly.
