greenhead flies

Wow, this has been up since March and no one has answered your question. I'll answer.

Yes, sometimes. I guess it may have to do with the type of winter and spring we get. They can be horid. Sometimes we call them horse flies. They can take a bite out of you through you t-shirt and leave a stream of blood running down your back. The good thing: they don't like bug spray.

If you leave the window of your car open a crack, expect them to gather inside the car and not be able to find their way out and attack you when you return, not a nice experience.
