Data from: Pasture dragging fails to reliably suppress the emergence of horn flies (Haematobia irritans) and face flies (Musca autumnalis) from dung pats in a Mid-Atlantic North American climate

In order to determine if pasture dragging suppresses the emergence of horn flies (Haematobia irritans) and face flies (Musca autumnalis) from dung pats in a Mid-Atlantic North American climate, we spread bovine dung pats with a pasture drag (in 2018) or a plaster knife (in 2020), covered pats with emergence traps, and quantified the emerging flies. Data archived here include raw counts of flies per pat as well as some seasonal environmental data.
