If you’ve noticed an increase in the number of flies wherever you are in the country right now, no, it’s not just you. Summer is always a time of increased fly numbers, but is there anything out of the ordinary going on right now?
Dr Bryan Lessard, also known as Bry the Fly Guy, is on a mission to defend the tarnished reputation of humble flies. In today’s deep dive, he explains why and when fly populations increase, but more than that, he’s spent his career learning why these sometimes annoying critters are a lot more important, and useful, than you might think.
