Where is Kermit when you need him!! A true Biblical plague uck! Where are the fly zappers!

May 9, 2013 – BOSNIA – Sarajevo’s fire brigade was inundated with calls after a massive swarm of flies struck the Bosnian capital. Some people reportedly fled the city to escape the aerial invasion, according to local media. Bosnian fire brigade officials said that could do little to combat the flies but advised people to shut doors and windows in order to keep the swarming insects at bay. Likened to blizzards and leaving surfaces covered with a thick layer of crawling insects, the swarms have already struck a number of towns across the Balkans. www.telegraph.co.uk... "We've had three or four generations hatching at once, and the predators such as birds and bats have not been able to respond by eating them all," said Miodrag Rajkovic, an insect specialist at a Serb veterinary institute.

I hate flies!! Yes they serve a purpose etc etc but to me they rank right next to mosquitoes which are a kill on sight menace to my happiness.

Bring on the apocolypse doomsayers.

How gross is that?!?!

There are going to be a lot of fat birds in that area of the world.

Oh good lord... I was about to have lunch too... I think I'll hold off for awhile now.

It's not the flies that make my stomach turn, but the knowledge of where they come from and how flies are 'made', so to speak. What the hell? Is there some ENORMOUS mass grave they missed over there?? Where did so many COME from....to try and leave off the obvious for detail.

I think investigation for origin is in order here. Something, somewhere needs attended to, IMO.

Here come the cicadas also,

A vast swath of the east coast is bracing for the arrival of billions of large, winged insects known as cicadas that will begin emerging after 17 years of living underground. Areas between the states of Georgia and Connecticut will experience massive swarms of the one-inch-long insects, all members of what is known as “Brood II,” one of seven species of the insect whose larvae (or nymphs) have spent nearly two decades feeding on roots.

Wait until this summer when the 13 year Brood of cicadas infects the east coast of the US.

I lived in VA during the 17 year Brood X hatch. Ankle deep in cicadas is not fun and so annoyingly loud all summer!

Yeah those things are pretty noisy and they have those big creepy red eyes!

I'm glad I live in Phoenix.

In some parts of the world that would be a welcome feast

Fly burgers anyone?

Retch!!!
Fly burgers,that is grotesque indeed.
Locusts on the other hand are damned tasty,fried in garlic,ginger and chilli oil.

But I wouldn't like to eat flies.
