Taiwan - Chenjean's Village, Fly Catcher

If it wasn't apparent in yesterday's post, those yellow sheets lying on the table are made to catch flies, much like the sheets we used to hang vertically back in the day here in the U.S.  These guys seem to work much better when laid out flat, the evidence of which can be seen in this shot, captured (double meaning intended) on Chenjean's front porch.  I was told that this is only TWO DAYS worth of flies.

But these aren't the kind that bothered us most as we took our hikes up and down the mountainside.  There is a very small species of mosquito or fly that left vicious bites, itching intensely for weeks even after returning to the U.S.  Did not encounter these on previous trips, so must have been just the time of year they were out.
