...who'd a thunk that painting a canoe would result in the death of maybe one hundred black flies, today?

Have a forty year old aluminum canoe, so's decided to roll a fresh coat of grey oil paint over the 17' canoe....quickly noticed the wet paint seemed to attract numerous black flies...their tiny feet & bodies would become stuck in the fesh paint....stuck to death....tomorrow will probably have to scrape the dead flies away and roll a second coat ....no fool'n...couldn't make this up

It was a 16,99 quart of Ben Moore paint, reduced down to six dollars, so's maybe the black flies just have expensive tastes?
