The huge cleggs (female horseflies) on Aran really loved Maggie, they were bold as brass, once they were in and feeding you had to pull them out. Maggie started by trying to flick them off, but all that happened was that they spun sround on their deeply inserted proboscis like mini catherine wheels.

It was pull and squish after that.

It is worse if they get to an area you can't see yourself, eg on your back just below the shoulder blades......you have to rely on loved ones to do the squishing.....BTW I now have this image of spinning horseflies going "Wheeeee" as they get flicked.
