Do you like flies? I don't.

I don't really now, but they entertained me when I was a kid. I used to catch them and put them in my room. I named them all Daryl.
Nooooo! Say it ain't so. What about scarabs?
I'm not a big fan when they are bothering me.
I really don't like flies.
I guess frogs like flies, but there aren't enough frogs in the world to eat all the flies.

This is going to sound extremely odd, in fact, this might be the weirdest thing about me, but when I used to be outside I would sometimes try to get flies to land on my arm because I enjoyed them sucking on it. It feels good to me. I'm weird I know.

They're alright. Mosquitoes, house, horse, sand and deer flies are not. And bees, wasps and hornets are jerks, too.
Oh yeah. And carpenter ants are little jerks, too.

I agree. Those darned horseflies wait for me until just the end of my hikes and then Bam! they go in for the kill. It is a good thing they fly so terribly and aren't used to animals with hands.
I admit that I have enjoyed sitting at the picnic table watching bald-faced hornets pick flies out of the air to take back and use as food. Away from the nest the hornets don't tend to be so aggressive and taking out the flies is almost as if they are saying sorry for their stinging talents.
I was in my teens when I first encountered one of those bug zapping devices. It was at my uncle's dairy farm. For whatever reason, a barn full of cows with plenty of manure seems to attract a lot of flies. However, hearing a zapping pop sound every few seconds was kind of fascinating in a way.
In later years, those bug zappers became more and more ubiquitous.
They aren't really that effective against biting flies and tend to be rather indiscriminate in killing insects that are beneficial or innocuous. But I admit a fascination with them as well.

Yep. I've caught myself staring at, or into, the zapper on my deck a few times. Are we flies? Are we so intrigued by bug zappers that we may get ourselves zapped one day? Real pressing questions.

I don't like flies but my cat Max likes them. He catches them and eats them.

They take a little and leave a little something behind.

Do they work for mosquitoes too?
The people zapper. I think just a hole in a fence with as sign that says "Don't look in here" would be sufficient.
Not really all that effective on mosquitos. More of a false comfort to the owners that hear other insects getting zapped and think mosquitos.
