Black fly season has started in Canada. This is the time of year when our First Nations traditionally abandoned the woods and headed out to the mudflats below the tide to dig shellfish so they could get away from them. It's not that the shellfish were so good, but that the woods are pretty much unendurable. You ever wonder why moose and bears are so big and shaggy? Not so much the cold as needing a pelt thick enough to keep the bugs from biting.

This is a Canadian song about our version of midges.
Mosquito season is starting now too. Black fly season ends in mid June in a good year, but mosquito season runs until the first frosts in October.
We have it SO lucky in H & H. We won't get the midges until the middle of the summer.
