Scientists from New Zealand's Department of Horizontal Flying Insects say that the La Nina weather pattern with its sub-tropical conditions have caused a rash of these monster yellow sandflies to frequent the country's East Coast beaches this summer.I managed to photograph one of these low flying yellow beasties yesterday as it sailed past at a squillion miles an hour.
You could easily get bitten by this bug...
Lots of sandflies around but I managed to avoid this one. Looks like fun though.
