Fly of ideas

If a fly lands in the forest – is it different from the city cousin?

She came to my campsite in the mountains. Waited patiently for photos. How was your trip? So many vectors …from all over the eastern US the campers come. Cars from Louisiana, Indiana, and Kentucky could have brought you. You probably hid pupa-style in the damp box of someone’s camping gear. Wide set eyes identify you as female. How does the air in the Great Smoky Mountains compare? Do you hope to hitch a ride to Knoxville? Is that why you have landed on the denim knee of my jeans? Your biological clock ticks in as few as 7 days. Is that why fly?
