I personally get more bugged by flies during the day. Especially in summer here. and double especially as I forgot to buy fly spray today. Ants are
bad to, fascinating to watch though, have you seen how much load one ant can carry? We get lemon bummed ants here. Yup their bums taste like lemon,
not that I have ever tried it but it does tell you that in the tourist brochures. Those ones don't bite, even though they have a green bum. Its only
the green ants that bite and they have green legs too whereas the lemon bummed ants have yellow legs. I don't think anyones tried the green ant's
bum to see what flavour they are, I guess they bite thats why. The flies dont bite, but flies get bit, especially during fishing season. Good flying
fishing here but not at night really. I think the fly fish sleep at night. Oh there is the fireflies that come out at night, they are these tiny
little zips of light that whizz past at night. They don't bite either, that I know of. We do get bats at night. bats have sonar and they make a
dreadful racquet at night plus they eat my mangoes off the tree. The trees are full of them, except bats have got a bad rep since movies like dracula,
so us aussies like to call them flying foxes. They bite too and they have a disease that can kill you which causes lyssavirus. Bit like avian flu. I
wonder if flies can spread Avian flu. Or Mosquitoes, hey yeah we do get mosquitoes that fly at night.... they bite too. The sandfly's bite as well
but they come out mostly at dusk and dawn. The sanflies leave nasty huge lumps and it takes liberal coating of vinegar to stop the lump and itch and
burn. Sandflies are so tiny, the bite hard for being so tiny, quite amazing to imagining that tiny mouth or schnozzle thing or whatever it is that
bites you. So much pain for something so teeny tiny. Planes fly at night, I like to watch them come in to land or take off, planes aren't that great
though, they crash. I'd like to fly at night but I don't think I'd like to fly in a plane. A UFO maybe or even a top secret black project plane but
not an airpane. I'd like to have wings and fly myself, at least I'd save myself the plane fare to Sydney and I trust my own flying. I trust my own
driving. No one else does and I hit more kerbs than I miss but there's no kerbs in the sky so I wouldn't hit kerbs if I flew. But it would be a far
quicker easier method of transportation. Flying is good, but at night you would need headlights so you wouldn't fly into a mountain or end up like a
popsicle on the spike of one of the worlds tallest buildings.
