Why are there more flies right now?

<p>If you&rsquo;ve noticed an increase in the number of flies wherever you are in the country right now, no, it&rsquo;s not just you. Summer is always a time of increased fly numbers, but is there anything out of the ordinary going on right now?&nbsp;</p> <p>Dr Bryan Lessard, also known as Bry the Fly Guy, is on a mission to defend the tarnished reputation of humble flies. In today&rsquo;s deep dive, he explains why and when fly populations increase, but more than that, he&rsquo;s spent his career learning why these sometimes annoying critters are a lot more important, and useful, than you might think.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Lucy Tassell<br />Guest:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/bry_the_fly_guy/?hl=en#"></a>Dr Bryan Lessard.
