I posted this under the Cat-General section but I thought I'd post it under Pet General for others to comment on it:
The Follower Fly
It's a bug, that my friends and I dubbed, "The Follower Fly". He is always around when I'm camping or hiking. I think it is a type of horse fly. There are only a few ways to get away from it:
1.The easiest--get inside your tent and zip up for a few minutes.
2.Next best choice--a trick we found that works well-- Point your head towards your unexpected friend's midsection. You must be close to them, the follower will transfer over to them. This method is the funnest, especially if your friend has no idea what you're doing. As soon as the follower flies into their hair, they'll know. And at this point start running, pointing and yelling "haha haha, you have the follower."
3.run while waving hands at your head, sometimes this works.
4.kill it, a hard task unless you have a well aimed newspaper.
Has anyone had experiences with this follower fly?
