Fly Death Fungi (Complex Entomophthora muscae)

Description

In the 2nd pic you can see the fly I pinned up about a week ago.

The 2nd wave of infected flies have glued themselves all over the place, and are visibly sporing, including onto my bait fly(and now a 2nd fly is glued to those two). There are about 100 dead flies on the windowsill that I'm going to vacuum up. Visible living populations have sharply dropped off (tho that's normal for them).

Once they're all dead I'll be cleaning out the space between the screens and the windows so hopefully I don't need to repeat the experience with a larger N
