We had a guy in our class who use to hit them lightly to just stun them, then get a strand of long hair (usually plucked from an unsuspecting girl) and tie a little knot around the flies neck. When the fly comes too it would buzz around in circles while the guy held onto the end of hair. Pretty fuggin funny.

I taught my kidz to do that. Mates and I used to do it on long haul flights to fill the time. Even at 9000' you still get dunny bees. Works well with march flies too.

When I was an aircraft instrument fitter we would often take them up to 145,000' in a vacuum chamber for 48hrs. They became "walks" at that altitude, but they'd still get up and fly away when you brought "em back to sea level.

When I was young (about 100 years ago) we would cut a plan view of an aeroplane out of 2" masking tape. Catch 4 flies (the huge big trans Atlantic dunny bees were way the best) and carefully position them, 2 on each wing. We called them "fly things". Set 'em free, watch and rofl .

I live in a rather cold place on Earth, and have no dogs and a very clean place (thanks to missus).

Yet you leave some fruit like a pineapple on the counter in the midst of the winter, which is fly-free, and 10 minutes later a million of those little black things circling madly said fruit.

No idea where the bitches come from...

"In March next year two new species of dung beetle will be imported from Europe and it is hoped they hold the key to eradicating the bush fly."

How do I get these dung beetles established in the bushland near my place... dog walkers don't bother to pick up their (dog's) **** in the bush and I always see flys and maggots all over them...

So we get rid of the flies, and swap for a dung beetle explosion,
Probably unstoppable like the cane toads.........
Sounds like a fair trade,
except the flies only breed in s***, The dung beetles roll it up, and take it home

Dung Beetles are very specalized and when they run out of poo they run out of steam. We have native Dung beetles but they have evolved to eat marsupial poop, which is nothing like Bovine poop..

Our larger Dung Beetles probably died off when the Megafauna died off, co-extinction.. We brought back the Megafauna so it makes sense to bring back the Beatles.

In Tim Flannery's book The Explorers, he has a report from some early European travelers to north west WA and they comment that the Aboriginals had developed a permanent squint and kept their lips quenched, due to the sheer numbers of flies.. Apparently they were a pretty miserable lot..

Hmmmm......... You talking about the abo's or the flies ?

Partly due to the flies, these Aboriginals were living in a pretty miserable state. Probably malnourished and naked to. Think these Euros took one look at them and crossed WA off their maps..

It's a fascinating read, Flannery collects documented accounts from many encounters with the locals across Oz, often the authors are the first 'white people' seen by the Aboriginals.

Seems most of the intelligent locals inhabited the 'good locations' and the idiot hillbillys got the ****ty parts.. The ****ty parts in this case was the one with billions of flies eating your face..

The book was given to me by my Skipper because I always complained about the flies around our camp.. I recall Flannery explaining that there was so many flies because of an imbalance in the ecosystem, even before we got here.
