I don't have a story, but in Maine and other parts of the Northeast we have Horseflies (aka green-heads). I suspect that these devilish flies are in other parts of the country. as well.

Unlike mosquitoes which sting, these persistent pests have teeth and they land on you with jaws wide open!!! Worst of all, they ignore bug spray. In fact, I suspect they consider bug spray more of a supper bell than a deterrent!!!
