Spiders, March Flies & Gold

摘要

Summer had just clocked off and we'd probably experienced our best seasonal rainfall in years. The only problem was that it created the perfect breeding environment for March flies here in Central Victoria, and I mean perfectl It had been years since I'd seen so many of these biting, bloodsucking, drive-you-mad insects and I'm sure insect repellent sales in the region must have reached an all time high. It sure made for uncomfortable detecting because along with the biting and blood sucking was the noise. One March fly can't be considered a noisy creature but when you have 50 or more of the buggers buzzing around inches from your head, it sounds more like a World War II dogfight.
