But when we go camping at my cousins camp in the summer in the States what separates his property from the farmers is a bay that goes into the St. Lawarence River.. and that is the only time I see many flies.. My cousin not having dogs tried to tell me the dogs brought on the flies.. I laughed at him and said I can tell you did not grow up on a farm like I did.. cow poop brings the flies.. So now I will be more vigilent when there.. I hate the heat so I am mostly inside the rv with the air on.. I only go so I can shop shop... LOL |
Exactly, most flies lay their eggs in poop. These Cuterebra normally seek out rabbits and mice. My GSD was laying right next to my Yorkie, but she had not one fly on her, so it was a case of mistaken identity, as Peek is the size of a small rabbit.
Haha! Yeah, AC and shopping.... that would be me too!

Again, I think it's more the size of the host that the flies seek out, but on that TV show 'Monsters Inside Me' there was a person with one on the back of his neck...
