They also are around longer than black flies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 49 minutes ago, dryslot said: Dragon flies love those deer/horse flies, Always a welcomed sight when they arrive. Way back when I was at forestry summer camp near Princeton, Maine, we were building a timber bridge for a logging road and the black flies were taking full advantage of all the fresh meat - about 25 of us at the site. Mid-afternoon a large squadron of dragonflies arrived and 10 minutes later, not a black fly in sight. With one exception, I've found black flies don't like hot and sunny wx - temp gets much over 80 and they abandon the field to the deerflies. (Those latter beasts are impervious to heat, not surprising as they come from the underworld.) The exception was June of 1996 in northern Maine, temp low 90s, and even 500' from shore in a canoe I was getting pounded - maybe too little airspace over land for that huge population. A friend with a bug-netted hat was having trouble seeing clearly due to so many hungry flies crawling on the netting. Thru Sunday the flies were out but not yet biting - any day now. However, the black fly season here is about 2 weeks, maybe a third as long as where I lived in Fort Kent. But as already posted, the deerflies are on patrol from early June thru mid September. Nice to have upper 60s yesterday rather than the low 50s with a 2" dousing that was being forecast 3 days earlier. Yesterday's 68/38 was 1° AN, a modest departure but my first AN day since May 3 and only the 3rd since April 14. Hasn't been hugely BN - 4/15 thru 5/17 averaged -5 and only 4 days in that period reached double digits BN. Looks to be some serious AN late week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
