All Activity

Fruit flies have been bad here all winter too, Usually they're a summer problem.

One of my favorite things anyone ever invented is that fly swatter that looks like a tennis racket. Bzzzzzzxttttt!!! electric death.

We have black flies here. And gnats. And mosquitoes. And deer flies. And ticks. I hate bugs.

Dude I give you huge props for running every morning in that. They are absolutely brutal in the woods there. Back in high school and college, spending the summers living and working in Woodstock I would suffer through running the dirt roads through the woods around those parts (we were 1.5 miles from any pavement, so could do a quick out and back at 3 miles, or longer 5 mile loops with some minor pavement running). It was so bad that several times a week I would actually drive to the Woodstock track and athletic complex that was out in the open, mowed around it, tennis courts, etc. The deer flies didn't hit you at the track. Sometimes I'd rather run around in a circle 12 to 20 times at the track, bored out of my mind, than deal with 2-6 deer flies buzzing and trying to bite you the whole time while running the dirt roads.

Thanks, I see Aubuchon has it to at 45%. Have to be careful with that stuff but at least my yard will smell like a salad.

Come to my area from mid June until early August. The deer flies can be insane. Although last summer wasn’t too bad. The horse flies come a bit later on

81 was the high.

Had a high temp of 84 here today. We might hit 90 tomorrow. Today I went up to Swartswood Park in Sussex County to do some hiking. It was absolutely perfect summer weather.

So you don't have the "biting gnats." Just the annoying gnats.

Yup . As foc

Not only do they bite, They suck.

Those don’t bite. Just annoying.

Black flies bite. Kevin is talking about different things. We don’t have black flies.

2001 had one of the warmest 5 day periods from Aug 6 - 10th. 2005 was very hot in other parts of the region , NJ had 3-4 days in the 100s and a very sustained hot streak in Jun. 98 was on the cooler side each of the 3 months Ju-Jul-AU 1987/1988 were both very hot, 1989 near even.

Cannabis ?

Nice shot. I just missed the sunset walking out of the gym. As cool as the apocalyptic smoke from 2 years ago was cool i would hard pass on a repeat.

Deer flies as much as I hate them Don't do as much a damage as Black flies. Mostly bite my hands when I'm riding my ATV in the woods. Once you stop and start working the numbers decrease.

Well those mofo’s are here. They were flying into my ears this evening. Gnats

Yeah man they are brutal . Every 5 AM summer run they just hammer my head and neck . Being as heavily wooded as this area is.. they literally find me no matter where I am . They are super territorial too. They have small areas they fly and as soon as you lose one. Another one gets you .. and so on and so on . The one positive is as sweaty as I get , they don’t like that and generally don’t bite because of the salt . But the annoyance factor is enough to make someone gouge their eyes out with a grapefruit spoon.

Black flies.

Ugh. Not a fan of this type of warning. "Possible large and extremely dangerous..." "Radar indicated rotation" It's either radar (TDS) or spotter confirmed as being "large and extremely dangerous," or you don't use the PDS designation.

Same here. Hardly anything in the way it bugs. Except for ticks.

I kept my hands really still. I was able to snap 3 different ones.
