We call them "Fish Flies" in Michigan, but this type is properly called Giant Mayfly (or Michigan Mayfly). The adults are short-lived (Ephemeroptera), and erupt from the water by the millions in late Spring to early Summer. Fish and birds must love this "banquet" time of year.

 

This Common Grackle seems to have found a tidy snack of "Fish Flies".

these African Buffalo have incredibly unpredictable temperament ...I like to keep my distance!

This barn swallow was flying low over the lake looking for flies.

This was my first time photographing insects in the rain. The drizzle had just ended when I found this pair of flower flies.

I think this is a culicidae could be wrong?

A bull elk uses his antlers to scratch and drive off biting flies on a warm day in Estes Park, Colorado. The bull and his harem retreated into Lake Estes to cool off, but the flies continued to plague them. If you look closely, you can see a few of the flies on his upper leg and rump.

 

This shot was taken on the first day of our fifth trip during 2022. It has become an annual tradition to visit Rocky Mountain National Park for the elk rut.

 

火車可以買回程票

但人生旅途只有單程票,有去無回

 

坐火車可以知道下一站是哪裡

但人生的旅途你永遠不知道哪裡是下一站

 

火車錯過了,還可以再等下一班

但人生旅途中的時間與機會錯過了,則不能再重來

Flies are so mighty that they win battles, paralyse our minds, eat up our bodies.

Just a few a forest of Fly Agaric below National Trusts Park Coppice near Coniston in the Lake District.

Twiggall flies are tiny, just 1/6 inch long. They lay their eggs in the growing tips of aspen twigs. When the eggs hatch, the larvae consume the soft growing tissues. The tree responds by forming a gall, which inadvertently protects the chewing larvae from predators. The galls are small, about 13 mm long and 8 mm wide. But they keep growing, even after the flies escape from the galls. Years later, the tiny galls have grown to lumps and bumps and girdling bands, as seen here.

Two different types of flies and some aphids on milkweed. Sometimes I get lucky and get two different subjects in one photo but I think this might be the first time that I managed to get three different subjects in one photo. Photographed in Maryland.

Our Chloe dog just turned 8 years recently. Hard to believe.

 

She doesn't seem to act her age and always seems up for an adventure and having fun.

 

Dogs are beautiful animals.

I'll die with the black flies picking my bones in North Ontario-io, in North Ontario... Is the only thing that comes to mind when I look at my Northern Ontrario pictures from last summer.

 

Built in 1974 for the Ontario Nortland, SD40-2 1735 Still looks amazing at 47 years of age. She was assigned pretty much all of summer 2021 on Ditcher №1, seen here tied-down for the night at Kapuskasing.

 

Here's the song in question, be aware ; It's catchy!

I took this shot because I found it interesting the way the runner was speeding past the clock with no hands. I was lucky that the elderly lady on her scooter was passing at the same time so that I could also contrast how time flies and ages us all. This was taken in Memorial Park, Basingstoke.
