Reminds me of that old joke.
What do you call a fly without wings?
Mystacinobia zelandica.
Shots fired!
But seriously, this was a neat read. A species of fly that can't fly, similar to bat flies in other countries except our one doesn't eat the bat, it eats their poo instead!
Yeah it was cool eh, I loved all the stuff about the tree and how there are always pregnant bat riders to make sure the species continues.
