HELLO :).
Our campfire just ended on the 21st.

oh wait. before that.
Did you know?
A fly that appears to have drowned can be revived with the use of everyday table salt.
Flies breathe through a series of tubes on their body called spiracles. When a fly is in water for an extended period of time, these tubes are blocked and it loses consciousness as part of a natural defense mechanism.
Like many insects, flies can survive without oxygen for an extended period of time. The salt draws water out of the spiracles, and if the fly has not actually drowned it will be able to fly off, good as new!
