Why?
My tent has light green walls and a bright yellow top (it's a Canadian tent I got second hand about 30 years ago).
On a trip to Deau Nat Park a few years ago (in summer), the tent was covered in flies. No one else's tent had any on it. But I also noticed my brother-in-law's white Patrol was also covered in flies. My blue Rangie wasn't.
So - are flies attracted by colour?
