"As the days grow longer and temperatures climb, we’re greeted by a familiar
chorus of buzzing. It’s fly season again.
This year is off to a bumper start, with bush flies swarming beach-goers, March
flies on the march, and mosquitoes taking to the skies en masse.
But with almost a million species worldwide and some 30,000 calling Australia
home, the (unusually) warm weather also presents an opportunity to appreciate
these remarkable and essential insects with whom we share our world.
Despite their sheer diversity, we’re likely to encounter only a select few
flies daily. So who are these curious insects, and how should we think about
their presence in our lives?"
