Swallows To The Rescue

Yesterday, every bit I knifed through the hot, humid air on the Great Plains, I noticed many herds of cattle that had crammed together or taken to farm ponds to escape biting insects.  Just around other disturbing spectacle that mightiness encourage other observers to hand upward center consumption!

Fortunately, inwards around areas, squadrons of swallows arrived to feast on the insects that were tormenting the cattle; piece they were hard to pose from the highway, close appeared to live on barn swallows.  Though the agile fliers dive-bombed the herds, the cattle for certain appreciated their service.

Of course, herds of deer, elk, caribou together with other native herbivores are likewise tormented past times insects during the summertime months.  But cattle herds guide maintain been established past times humans, their members living only long plenty to furnish nutrient for people together with their domestic pets.  Their brief lives are far from idyllic!
