Posts: 1	Hello, I went on a guided trip recently and the gentleman leading the group referred to a certain fly he was using as a "trash fly". The fly was very small and fuzzy and neon green/yellow. He said it doesn't really resemble a specific insect. Is this just a general term used to describe a certain category of flies? Could anyone provide a little more detail on this for a newby trying to learn? Maybe link me to an image or specific fly if possible. Thanks, Haleyeah
