Some people in our area say they’re getting bug bites they believe are from Black Flies. We talked to a local scientist about these pesky insects. The scientist says black flies usually come out in late spring, so he said this is a little early for them to be out. That could be caused by the warmer winter. But the flies don’t pose a threat to humans. “Black fly bites can be a small thing up to a half dollar in size, raised,” saidNate Bosch, director of Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams.
