  Olympus MIC-D: Oblique Gallery - Simulium Species
The bane of moose and man, flflies of the genus Simulium (order Diptera:family Simuliidae) are known to have made many humans and animals jump in nearby lakes up to their necks to avoid blood-letting bites.
Avoiding the competition and lower dissolved oxygen concentrations of the slower backwaters, flfly larvae cling to submerged rocks with an anchoring patch of spun silk and a highly modified posterior circlet of hooks.
As filter feeders, flfly larvae capture bacteria and diatoms with feeding nets constructed from a pair of cephalic fans and a sticky secretion produced by the cibarial glands.

It is the larval flfly that is worthy of tolerant attention.
Suppose you harbor a grudge against flflies no matter how young they are and decide to dislodge a larva, watching it whirl away in the current to what you hope is oblivion.
A female flfly may actually enter the water to lay up to 500 eggs, or choose a wet leaf along the stream bank on which to deposit them.

Blackfly Season is just non-stop action from beginning to end.
It was quite clever of Blunt to avoid attributing Terry Tate's memory loss to the bullet's trajectory through her brain, but instead imply that it's the repercussions of the bullet wound like brain swelling, trauma, or even a voluntary memory loss.

 Blackfly control using ground spraying of larvicides: present status and prospects with special reference to the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The control of flfly (Simulium spp.) is based on larvicide spraying in rivers where the insects breed and their larval stages are vulnerable.
In areas of West Africa where onchocerciasis (caused by Onchocerca volvulus) is still prevalent, ground treatment is carried out to support aerial operations and to a lesser extent to control nuisance insects in areas where the endemicity of the disease is low.
The situation of ground spraying of larvicides in countries outside the Programme (temperate as well as tropical), is also presented in order to provide some basis for the development of ground treatment strategies in the OCP area.

Though individually tiny, the flfly has the power to drain the pockets of Texas livestock producers of hundreds of thousands of dollars when its larvae hatches and it emerges from rivers and streams in massive numbers.
Neither is it toxic to insect predators of the flfly, such as dragonflies.
With unseasonable rains and untimely temperatures during the late fall of 1998 and early 1999, conditions are perfect for the eggs to hatch and the larvae to survive.

 Blackfly Season by Giles Blunt
Every year, following an all-too-brief patch of spring weather, flflies burst from the beds of northern Ontario’s numberless rivers and streams to feast on the blood of birds, livestock and the citizens of Algonquin Bay.
The flfly may be less than a quarter-inch long, but up close it resembles an attack helicopter, fitted with a sucker at one end and a nasty hook at the other.
Blackfly season just doesn’t bring out the best in people — those that drink, anyway.

 ARS | Publication request: Augmentation of Parasitoids for Biological Control of Citrus Blackfly in Southern Texas
Interpretive Summary: The citrus flfly, an invasive pest in Texas and Florida since the 1970s, causes injury to grapefruit and orange trees by removing nutrients and by promoting the growth of a sooty mold fungus that inhibits photosynthesis.
Two wasp species parasitize citrus flfly and when these wasps are established in groves, can reduce populations without the aid of insecticide applications.
Dissection of citrus flfly immatures also suggested that E. opulenta increased in larger numbers than A. hesperidum, and that a stable host-natural enemy relationship became established.

Citrus flfly adults and immatures feed on the underside of host plant leaves.
They remove large quantities of sap which is excreted by immature stages as "honeydew", which then serves as a substrate on which a fl-colored sooty mold fungus develops.
