That lands on your arm, and you shoo it off, and it comes right back. Incessantly. Repeatedly. One of those that is determined to show you that his/her acrobatic ability is superior to your swatting?
I am not sure what makes them do this kind of thing, but once in a while, there is one of those determined flies.
WHAM!

A: Not long for this world.
You must have some good stuff there that he can't risk missing.
What do I call him............?
Well, Wendell and Angel would terminate my connection if I answered that correctly.
Sounds like most any annoying fly, black flies are really so.
There is a bee around here dubbed the "good news bee" that will really get your attention because of its size and the fact that it will get in your face and would land there if you would let it. They are very large, pestering and for the most part harmless.

Good news bees :good:

Not any more.
Haven't seen a one in California.

YOU NEED THE BUG-A-SALT
I got one last Christmas. They are made very well and they do kill flies and moths. I would say that I have killed flies 2 feet away, but more likely a foot or less is the range.
A Horse's a.ss fly...
Reminds me of an old story...
One day a too young farm boy got pulled over by a rookie State Trooper for driving down a rural road without a license, no seat belt, taillights not working on the old farm truck and a host of other violations. As the Trooper was writing him a ticket, a fly kept buzzing around the Trooper's face, trying to land on his nose. No matter how many times the Trooper stopped to swat the fly away, it kept coming back to his face.
The obviously aggravated Trooper blurted out "What the heck kind of fly is this? It's about to drive me crazy!'
The farm boy calmly said, "Well officer, that's what we call a Horse's A.ss fly."
The Trooper looked back at the farm boy and said "...so Sonny, are you now inferring that I'm a Horse's A.ss?"
The farm boy politely replied "No sir, Officer - I would never do that - but it IS real hard to fool a Horse's A.ss fly...."
A Horse's patoot story..different version
A trooper pulls a fella over for doing 42 mph in 40 mph zone. The driver is immediately aggravated.
As the officer is writing the ticket the driver asks, "It's against the law for me to cuss you out, isn't it?"
"Yes sir, it is", replies the officer.
"But I can THINK anything I want, right?" says the driver.
"Yes sir, your thoughts are your own." says the officer.
"Good," blurts the driver, "Then I THINK you're an assshole!"
Flyswatter pistols
I have 7 kids. About 25 years ago I took the wife and family on a short trip to purchase a new target pistol for myself. While there, my kids saw some Flyswatter pistols on sale and I purchased one for each of my children. On the drive back home which took about 40 minutes, they started shooting each other and then complaining ... by the time we got back home, their mother had confiscated all 7 pistols.
But ... they DID keep occupied on the ride back.
I got one for myself, too. It works within a range of about 12 inches.
Flyswatter pistols
If they look like this:
We keep several at the office. They are extremely functional and a good distraction from reading abstracts that look like a D/FW phone book.
PS - I'd take them away from the kids, too. 😉
Nate, you could just go old school..

Flyswatter pistols
Yep, that's the ones. (With string attached from pistol to swatter.)
My weapon of choice
I like to use one in each hand to lay waste to hordes of flies and mosquitoes. When you nail a fat skeeter, they'll sometimes explode in a brilliant flash and most satisfying pop. My neighbors must think I'm doing some exotic tennis tai chi on the deck when the air is thick with skeeters.
My weapon of choice
Cool. Where do you get those?
My weapon of choice
I was skeptical that 2 AA batteries could generate enough oomph to fry an insect, so I touched the grid and pulled the trigger. I'm not skeptical anymore.
