Sandflies

      How to stop the sandflies bitting you can put on sandfly repellent or slap them wot there used to paint there skin in kokowai red ochre.

The female sandfly use their mouth and slice open a tiny part of your arm and then they put their saliva over the wound so it doesn’t stop bleeding. They then drink from it. The male eats plants and stuff like that.

The female goes near a river and under a plant. First the eggs hatch and then 12 days later they turn into larvae. Then they eat the water particles from the river and then they turn into pupa and they turn into sandflies after 12 days.
