Interesting fly

[Lionclaw]

Has anyone ever seen this kind of fly before?

I don't think I've ever seen this kind of fly before, it looks cool though with those colors. :)

I live in the northern part of Sweden.

None of these have the orange thorax though. But since its color is really irredescance it may just be the lighting.

I opened the door after I took the pictures but I found out a few days later that it didn't fly out, it died there on the door.


It was very warm for about 1 - 2 weeks, 27 degrees Celsius in the shade was the highest reading I saw on the thermometer. Too hot for me!! :-?

How close do you live to a nuclear reactor, nuclear arms storage facility, or nuclear waste dump site ?

[Lionclaw]

The closest nuclear plant is Forsmark, 300 km away. I've no idea where the closest nuclear waste dump site is, and I don't think Sweden has any nuclear arms. :)

Oh god gross.




My fiancé's father was down somewhere in Central America when something bit him and he ended up with a black bug under his skin. It sounds like a bot fly, but it might've been something else.

You find that gross... Thats not bad compaired to other paracites.:rotfl:

Radioactive fly problem from Russia, with love?

I think it might be a 'rave-fly'. Turn out the lights and put on some techno. :DL

[Blacklight]

Have you noticed anything like a hatch open underneath and tiny aliens emerging to take samples of stuff yet ?

I was harassed by something looking just like this at the store a few days ago! Damn, they are persistent... but it eventually got the message and buggered off. Weird, since i've never seen anything like this before around these parts (central europe).

[Blacklight]

EEP !! They're SPREADING !?! :o

[Lionclaw]

I haven't seen one of those since I took the pictures, it had probably something to do with the very warm temperatures we had up here for a while in late June.

[Rilder]

That fly is cute. :)

[Jimbuna]

No need to worry....unless its parents come looking for their offspring. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/c_jane24/Smileys/4_6_100.gif

I hate flies. Just came back from our cottage which was filled with them. Turned out it's their mating time or something as the little wankers were ****ing on the table, ****ing on the floor, ****ing on my knee, everywhere!

Then our cat came and ate them. :smug:

lol. the only flys we get here are those black ugly ones...:yep:

On the subject of insects, I now live more to the south of Finland and it's weird because when I go to the forest there is almost no mosquitos at all. In the north they will pretty much suck you dry. Well not quite but at first they are quite a nuisance. Then you learn to sort of ignore them or use lots of insect repellent.

[Lionclaw]

Yes, mosquitos... :nope:

Most irritating thing is that for some reason they really want to enter the ears. It's the most irritating when you're sleeping and a mosquito flies by the ear. Then all you can do is get up and put on the lights and go mosquito hunting.


Minä en tykkää itikoita. Was that correctly written? :)

Translation: I don't like mosquitos.

My Finnish isn't too good.

Hehe :)

I was born in Sweden but my parents are from Finland so I know some Finnish but I was better at it when I was younger.

[Jimbuna]

but I was better at it when I was younger.

Weren't we all :DL

Close. Correct would be: Minä en tykkää itikoista. :03:

Speaking of nasty flys we here in florida have these flys called 'horse flys' they get pretty big about the size of a dime in some cases.

They are carnivorous and when they bite eyyyooowww they actually take a small chunk of skin with them. Persistant too.

I remember surfing probably a good 100 yards off shore and along comes a horse fly buzzing about trying to grab a snack. So I dive underwater and try to swim off towing my surboard behind me. I stay down as long as I can and when I come up... there is that damn fly again looking for a snack. The only way to evade the pest was to surf in to shore and then paddle back out again. But... another one would show up eventually starting the whole routine over. :x

[Lionclaw]

@ Dowly: Thanks. Finnish is quite tricky with all the endings that are added to the words. :-?

I don't know how much difference there is between the species of horse flys in Florida and Sweden, but they're all equally annoying though. :)

Especially when they're orbiting around you constantly. bzz bzzzz... Yes yes, find someone else to bother! :x
