  • Golly ... I hope they don't bite!

    — Margaret Hovell

  • They do, unfortunately! But only on exposed skin. They're pretty easy to bat away first.

  • We ran into this ranger who was cutting down and pulling out non-native species (this valley is overrun with them) who said if we couldn't swat the deer flies before they bite we have serious coordination issues.
