                                    Te Namu

                               The nuisance fly

                               By Ross Calman

                    Illustrated by Gavin Mouldey

This story talks about how Sandflies bite when the female sandfly bites it puts little bits of chemicals called saliva and that’s what she puts into your body and that’s why people get itchy.

Second reason why it’s itchy is because the female sandfly slashes your skin then starts to suck your blood it’s attracted to dark like black. So when it can see black it goes there then starts to slash the skin off people's body.

Another reason is because when they suck your blood the chemicals stop your blood from clotting and that's another reason why it’s so itchy when they bite.

Last reason is their life cycle of a sand fly when they’re eggs and they crack they turn into larvae then when they start eating little particles. In the water then they turn into pupa’s then 12 days after eating they turn into mosquitoes and that’s how it goes.
