BEWARE THE HORDES OF MARCH,CAESAR !

 People visiting Townsville's jewel in the crown -Magnetic Island- for the first time, especially those  intending to   tramp along the tracks ,  should be made aware that  March Flies  are out  in  force. One resident   who has  just made a return trip by car  to West Point   said that he was  attacked by at least 40 of  the critters when he alighted  .  Little Darwin understands the male flies  like human sweat , causing a stinging sensation as they suck away , and are not  deterred  by being brushed away .Recent rain is thought to have brought  them out in such numbers.
