With a somewhat unusual summer this year, we’ve seen some weather extremes that have drawn comment, complaint and frustration around the country.

Along with summer, of course, come flies – but we’ve seen some observations about the sheer number (and size) of some of the pesky insects around the country.

So what do you think? Are we seeing more flies than usual this year? Or is it all just (fly) blown out of proportion? Let us know by voting in this week’s poll, below!
