Making the most of the school holidays and tasty southern tourists on Magnetic Island have been blood sucking female March Flies, some swatted ones shown here. They have apeared months ahead of usual, perhaps due to the climate change ?
Fortunately, the island's mysterious , mutilated mermaid is made from fibreglass so she has not become anaemic due to loss of blood from March Fly attacks.
An island resident who spends a lot of time pruning and taking trailer loads to the tip has warned about two Death Adders along a popular track.
