The little yellow plane

As in previous years, following the instructions of the Conselleria of Agriculture, Fishing and Feeding, the little yellow plane has been spraying the citrus plantations in the area with Malation 50% p/v and hydrolyzed Protein to kill off the Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata Wied) that can devastate lemon and orange crops.

Unfortunately that hasn't killed off the insects that have bitten quite a few residents here. It seems that it is not just Pamela and I that suffered. Quite a few of our neighbours have been bitten just recently.
