There is something folks don't know about these land bank units (conservatories for for fauna or species). Often enforcement agencies will force people to buy into these. We had an incident with a blunt nosed leapord lizzard on our propery....... an employee brought it to me in a cup with a perforated lid (ya ain't supposed to pick them up) because it was in a dangerous area. I took it several miles away and released it and reported the release.

Result? A $25,000 fine and we were coerced thru a settlement agreement to buy and donate about 25 acres of land nearby to a nature conservancy.

wow, $25k for a lizard.. geez

I used to live close to this area the flies are in, and those things are pesky. If its the same flies I encountered, they pretty much fly up the nose & ears, and are extremely annoying.

The surrounding area gets sprayed to kill misquitos that carry west nile virus, so I'm wondering that if this 150 acres in Colton is off limit to the spraying, could be a breeding ground for west nile infected misquitos?

What's next; misquitos as an endangered species?

So I guess if you should swat the wrong fly, potentially you could be fined or jailed. Un-effing-believable!
