    They only get to about half an inch. And they’re sort of round, not as gross as a lot of other bugs. But yeah, they just slam themselves into doors and windows. It’s noisy and weird.

      And your face… they’re rather derpy and annoying. I swat 'em with my phone. My dog will eat them out of the air when able, and I’m ok with it

        Yeah, I’ve had them fly into my mouth too, most memorably in mid air after jumping off a diving board. So I had to endure the damn thing in my mouth, under water, until I could come up for air/spitting it out.

        Still way less annoying than horse and deer flies. Those fuckers really hurt.
