Sometimes I see something interesting in the world around me and I feel the need to share it with others I may encounter along my way. Today, for example, I was standing outside my office soaking up the nice sunshine when I noticed something pretty unusual as far as I was concerned. It was a fly. Not just any fly, mind you, I'm not a complete moron. Anyway, this fly was about one inch long. I am not exaggerating! It was huge. It's eyes, ugh, those horrible slimy round knobules at the end of it's face. Icky!!
It was gray in color, dark gray, and just hung there on the door. Hey, lady who walked out after me: I was trying to show you something interesting, not mug you. No need to glance at me over your shoulder while walking swiftly away. Honest. Some people just don't appreciate nature.
So I got to thinking what the heck that fly was. Of course, I googled it. I found this great website called www.whatsthatbug.com. What a neat place to surf around. Very interesting. If you're ever bored, check it out.
Bottom line, I think it was the Western Black Horsefly. Chicks are much bigger than the dudes and they bite and draw blood! They're not being mean, they need the blood to make eggs. Ugh. Glad I didn't get bitten today!
chat soon.
xoxo
