Ahhh black flys, horse flys, mosquitos, deer flys, tics, New England IS beautiful but it does have its share of critters!
So here's the thing, I didn't think of it until I read this.
Not one bug on my SS from this entire trip! The Maine Coast and it's ocean breeze is probably why.
Black Fly season in Maine is usually in late May and June.
It's worse in upper state NY.
Rode my ATV in Tug Hill for a weekend, and those flies were the worst I've ever seen!!
Up there, cows outnumber people like 5 to 1 or more!!
I will assume that might explain the bugs!!
(Now, should we talk about your air quality?)
