Still Waters Posted April 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Extraordinary footage of a couple getting swamped by a swarm of flies has emerged. The YouTube clip was filmed by a man on a boat in lake Mývatn, Iceland, and showed him and his partner getting completely covered by the midges. http://metro.co.uk/2...-flies-4709991/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted April 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2014 During the footage the swarm gets too much, despite the pair wearing head protection, and the man quickly accelerates his boat away. http://metro.co.uk/2...-flies-4709991/ You can always rely on a bucket when the flies come out. Pretty amazing footage. They were lucky it was only flies and not wasps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted April 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2014 This was Björk`s pet fly swarm. Very expensive but she is rich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still... the knowledge of midgee's urinating that causes the irritation and craziness is enough to make shiver, they are litrally head to toe in bug urine and then they head in for a 2nd go :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllJay Posted April 28, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2014 They say that if all the worlds insects were 10 times bigger we would all be in a world of hurt. Imagine ants large as a Dachshund or wasps the size of a falcon. Then add the fact that they outnumber all humans and that there are over 200 million insects for every living human - some scientists estimate. Horrifying.

cisum Posted April 30, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'd rather not imagine that, EllJay. =P & it was bound to happen, FizzPuff. Even if nobody really did read it as such, someone would've got giddy about it hah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be something similar to Starship Troopers - if you've seen that film. http://youtu.be/XVO6A2anEqI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
