Where does the term, 'gadfly' come from?69.6.162.160 02:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)Brian PearsonReply
A gadfly is an anoying fly (like a horse fly). I'm fairly sure that gadfly petrels are named for their helter skelter flight at sea, which is reminisent of a fly. Sabine's Sunbirdtalk 06:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
