Ouch...Stupid Greenheads

That Pesky Greenhead Fly

It's a perfect early summer day. The sky is deep blue and cloudless, and there is a very light breeze. The sand under the afternoon sun is hot under your feet as you walk to the beach, and the incoming tide looks inviting as a slight perspiration has begun to form on your forehead. You are just about to set down your beach chair, when ouch...you are bitten on the calf by one of those pesky greenhead flies. Familiar to all of us who go to the beach in the summertime on Cape Cod, the greenhead fly can truly ruin an afternoon at the beach. While we can't keep them from biting, CapeCodWeather.Net thought it useful to supply some information about these annoying critters, so at least you know something about them.
