Thank God we have screens as of this morning. Hopefully there won’t be too much more of this funny business going on.
Necrophiliac fly?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Man I’m glad you have screens.
Y’all totally should have come into town to the Bürgerfest today. The weather was gorgeous – no hiding under busstops necessary!
@sarah: It was beautiful today. I was on a freak cleaning spree though. Washed all the windows and everything. I wonder if labor could be approaching, I’ve read some women get a “nesting instinct” and start cleaning house right before labor! (It could also have just been some random manic cleaning mood as well)
i like how you term this post “wildlife”.
christina’s hushed voice, off-screen: the male common greenbottle is a lusty one. notice how he approaches the object of his affection in a direct way, without going to any lengths of pretended courtship. the coupling is brief and a one-sided affair.
…the fly must have done this more than once; how else would Christina have known to take pictures of it?…
@rita: hahaha! That reminds me of Bridget Jones’ Diary. I love that movie!
@martina: Yeah, that fly was quite the lusty fellow. I think he was there at least a dozen times before I decided I ought to take a picture.
Hahahaha– thanks for the laugh!!!!
Please tell me you killed the necrophiliac one the second you’d finished taking the photograph. Do flies have no standards?
@vicky: No problemo!
@BiB: The sicko died a painful death along with all his other brethren who had gotten in before the screens were installed.
What are these screens of which you speak? Do they do the killing for you?
@bib: No, they don’t kill, they’re just netting you stick in the windows to keep the bugs out. Tesa makes them and has a website, but I’ve got Protecto Fliegengitter, and they seem to stick to the window frames better than the Tesa ones.
Hi! hopping over from Eurotrippen. This reminded me of that TV commercial with the ladybugs making out in the car!
@arashi-kishu: Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!
