Did that Mayfly just wing past hawking Taco Bell?

A German company unleashes tiny winged advertising on conventioneers, is this a portend of what fly shops will be springing on us come Opening Day?

 

The exploitation of farmed mayflies, each dancing about with a gaily colored banner, “A #16 Royal Wulff would’ve caught that fish, now on sale at Big 5.”

Bug activity has always been a welcome sight, but with insects outnumbering humans will we still think that way after a couple regiments of Taco Bell Hexagenia?

    Ger-manically odd.
    Shouldn’t this rightly appear on “This Is Fly”?

    Jesus, I should have alerted them – you’re right.

    That is just plain mean. For their sake I hope Jeff Goldblum doesn’t get wind of this!
