For the last week or so we've been in Tsetse fly country. These little blighters are like a cross between a housefly and a horsefly. they seem to follow anything that moves - particularly vehicles - and when it stops - they try to get in to bite whoever/whatever is inside! The bite feels like an injection, so you're mot keen on getting too many. Once in the cab, they're difficult to kill, you can hit them as often as you like, but unless you actually get a very direct, crushing hit, they just seem to bounce back! As a result, we're trying to close our windows every time we stop - this isn't working 100% of the time yet....
Steve from Chipembele pointed out to us a positive benefit of the Tsetse fly the other day....if it wasn't for their presence, theirt would probably have been cattle farms here years ago, so the wildlife would have been destroyed.....
