Catching flies

We've had quite a few flies around here this past month.  It must be the time of year here, because I remember this happening last year around this time, then they were gone.

Mr. M likes to hunt and catch bugs, so I asked him to try to get some flies.  This was the perfect job for him.  I thought he was joking with me when he aimed a rubberband at a fly....

Nope.  That is how he gets flies.  He is very good at it too!  Thanks Mr. M, you've been so helpful!
