Have you ever seen those tiny swarms that don't really get on you, but will go where you go, right in front of you? I have stopped walking and just watched them sometimes, trying to figure what the purpose is for what they are doing, and they just appear to be flying in total chaos, and they will stay right in front of my face for the longest time...teeny tiny little things...then finally, if I stay still long enough, one or two will take off from the pack, then a couple more, and so on until there is only two or three left, and then you can really see the "dance" they are doing...it is amazing...

Our gnats here are nice friendly not biting kind. Worst we have are giant gallon-nipper skeeters, deerflies, & the ever vicious no-see-ums. Skin so soft works okay for most of them. Sometimes the deerflies get bad even out on the beaches. You'd think the wind off the water would keep them away. > Barbs right if we did way from with them all something would be out of balance. > Marcie > > > ==== CHAHTA Mailing List ==== > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS LIST: > Send msg. to CHAHTA-L-request@rootsweb.com > Put "one" word in "body" of message:...
