Sheep Fly and they will bite. That's the first one that comes to mind. I have noticed a few around lately.

They are thrips or corn flies

thats where i found it but it wouldnt paste the pic of the critter so i posted its name in the hopes they could look it up and see if that is the varmit thats destroying the corn !!!! Pesky bugs are like people always tormenting others LOL

try looking at a pest identifier

well crap it didnt copy i belive its called a Mexican Corn Rootworm

is this what it looks like ?

My neighbor does a lot of gardening. He recently spoke to me of a pest that looks like a small house fly but has a yellow or golden tail and it is destroying his corn along with other crops. What is it and how do you get rid of it? Hopefully he can get rid of it with natural ingredients. Thanks for your help.
