Not long ago, I got word that LBI’s fairly-famed greenhead-trapping “black boxes” were under eco-attack. Scuttlebutt had some unknown insect-hugging sector of society talking smack about the fly-attracting contraptions, which are doomsday hotels to horseflies, like our greenies, Tabanus nigrovittatus.

As nearly as I heard the hearsay, the black fly-trapping, table-looking contrivances were being seen as ecologically sinful.
