Strange Flies Swarm Island
Of S. E. Alaska
1 J. G. Smith, a fox farmer on
Vank Island, near Wrangell,
1 reported recently a cloud ot
strange flies on Brown Island.
| The flies had wings half an
! inch long. The legs were red.
Head and mouth resembled
those of ants. The cloud was
so dense that Smith could
grasp the insects in the air by
the handfuls. The flies ate a
single hole in each leaf wher
! ever they alighted. Strawberry ;
plant leaves turned black. A
heavy rain killed the flies in
myriads and the next morning
■the bay surrounding the island
looked like it was covered by
volcanic ash while the dead
flies lay in windrows over the
island.
