Popis:	Two methods were employed to investigate animal color Preference by the horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.). One method consisted of periodically counting the number of flies on 5 red, 5 white, and 5 black heifers confined in an isolated pasture. The second method consisted of dyeing black one side of 5 white animals and periodically counting the number of horn flies on each side. In both tests more horn flies were found on the dark colors than were found on the white.
