Ugh, bugs

A doe seems to be expressing her opinion on the deer flies on her back in this trail camera photo captured in late June. 

Other photos showed just how bad the bugs were. 

I felt for the deer. 

​I can use bug spray and spray down the goats with fly spray. Unfortunately, the bugs are just something the wild critters have to deal with. 

Nonetheless, the annoying bugs have a part in the ecosystem as food for other bugs, birds, frogs and more. That's just the nature of things 'round here. ​
