Ewww. In the Kenya's Ukazi Hills, scientists found a Mormotomyia hirsuta, also known as a hairy fly. This has been the first discovery since 1948. It is funny looking with wings eventhough it cannot fly, and it looks like a spider. This insect has only been discovered 2 times before in history as far as anyone knows. In 1933 and than again in 1948.
There is not much I can say bout this because they do not give me much information on the web page, but this interested me mainly because on TLC there was a guy whoses baby had fly larva crawling out of the skin on her hands due to some gross fly so I was interested in this. Also, I think that the fact that there are researchers and scientist discovering things in Africa, it helps the continent look somewhat better. And I believe that if people in America see that there are things to be discovered in Africa still, it helps them look past the myth's of Salvage Africa.
