Arkansas does have bot flies.
The bot flies in Arkansas usually come out around July, August and September.
I've been to Arkansas during those times when I visit my Aunt who lives there and when I do the bot flies are really bad especially around July and August.
Arkansas does also have many other fly species as well.
Arkansas is a nice place to visit and to live and I hope to retire there one day or if I can find a job there I would move there sooner.
I can tolerate the flies for the beauty of Arkansas.
I deal with flies where I'm at now anyway.
Flies are basically everywhere and all we can really do is just kill them.
