Deer flies (also known as yellow flies) are flies in the genus Chrysops of the family Tabanidae that can be pests to cattle, horses, and humans. A distinguishing characteristic of a deer fly is patterned gold or green eyes. Deer flies are a genus that belongs to the family commonly called horse-flies (Tabanidae). They are smaller than wasps, and they have coloured eyes and dark bands across their wings. While female deer flies feed on blood, males instead collect pollen. When feeding, females use knife-like mandibles and maxillae to make a cross-shaped incision and then lap up the blood. Their bite can be extremely painful, and allergic reaction from the saliva of the fly can result in further discomfort and health concerns. Pain and itch are the most common symptoms, but more significant allergic reactions can develop.

Today I came out to the Hudson area on a caching frenzy. I headed up I-76 and started caching while headed east. Pretty amazing time. I saw one hawk, a few prairie dogs, lots of rabbits, and a few small herds of deer. As night fell, I'm sure that more animals saw me than I saw them.
No problem finding this one! TFTC!

Had to laugh at myself as my gps had me in the wrong spot for a couple of minutes. I stopped looking at the unit and used sense. I dropped a Trail Dash TB in to move along. If you pick it up, log it! Otherwise leave it for the next cacher who will
