Well, then, I say wait for them to land and them give them the old swat! Thanks for your thoughts, Eve. ;>)

I know my Deb hated those things, but if you have bug bites that itch like crazy, you feel nothing is too horrible for them to suffer. I made up for it today by allowing three flies to nibble on the crusts I left from my sandwich. I really did. I observed those critter, and they are remarkable.

I must have been editing it while you were reading, Gershon, because I believe it did read differently at first. Something like electric zapper.....
