Don’t squash that bug:
even flies need love
Drawing and story by J. L. Biesecker
Don’t squash that bug
flitting about your porch
light; it could be an
important friend of yours,
especially if you are a
fisherman. Many fishermen
catch fish and do little to
repay Mother Nature for her
efforts in their behalf.
There are many things that
we can do to help improve
the quality of our fishing
streams, if we just take the
time.
These efforts do not have
to be the great dramatic and
newsworthy efforts of envi-
ronmental groups. Often,
the small act can be as
important. For example,
you can protect and assist
the Dobson fly.

Class of 1950: Jean Reuter Seachrist, Josi
’ ’ ie Neale Long,
Kathryn Smith Tucker, Robert Carroll. ys
Dobson flies are the
mature stage of the
hellgrammite. Last week we
spoke of how much small-
mouth bass love these little
creatures that live under
rocks in streams. In recent
years the population of
hellgrammites has
continued to decline. These
insects are easily affected
by pollution, and they have
been hurt by the spread of
recreational homes and
facilities.
Adult hellgrammites
leave the water, pupate for
about two weeks and
emerge as Dobson flies. As
with many other insecfts,
Dobson flies are attracted to
outdoor lights and windows.
They often exhaust or injure
themselves in the witless
fluttering about lights at
cabins and homes near
streams. Such = self
destructive activity keeps
many Dobson flies from
achieving the main purpose
of their existence as adults,
to lay their eggs in streams,
perpetuating the cycle of
new life.
When you find one of
those rather fierce looking
insects around your window
or light, gently capture it
and return it to the water’s
edge. This will aid the
increase of the next genera-
tion of hellgrammites,
contribute significantly to
the food chain in your
favorite trout or bass stream
and will help remind you
that little things are
valuable-often with much
greater importance than we
realize. j
