If you've tried to relax on the sands of Myrtle Beach recently, you might have been interrupted by biting flies. This September, beachgoers have reported swatting away flies who leave bites that feel like needle pricks. Eric Benson, Clemson professor and entomologist, explained what these beach-dwelling pests are, and how to avoid their bites. Benson said it could be one of the hundreds of fly species in South Carolina. Stable flies are the most common biting fly in the state, but deer and horse flies could also be the culprit, Benson said.
