It would be ideal to take a nap there in good warm weather and curl in a blanket on a chillier afternoon. Neither is an option for me given my propensity to get bit by any and all creatures that bite humans. But maybe zebra print could come to the rescue of folks like me and extend to things beyond horseflies
“We show that the attractiveness to horseflies of a dark brown human body model significantly decreases, if it is painted with the white stripes that are used in body paintings,” the authors write. “Thus, white-striped bodypaintings, such as those used by African and Australian people, may serve to deter horseflies.”
