I don't think so it's pretty much just a calcium supplement
Yes. You can buy products that are specifically designed as a horsefly repellent, such as EcoSMART Horse Fly Spray. These products are available online or at most equine supply shops. You can also make your own horse fly repellent, by mixing vinegar and eucalyptus.
No. The powder is scales that cover the membrane of their wings. The powder itself is not used to fly, but it helps to protect the membrane underneath. Touching a moth or butterfly's wings will not prevent it from flying, as long as you are gentle.
Flies love to bite the tips of dogs ears. We use a fly repellent that is used to spray on horses. Just a little dab'll do ya. Reapply as needed.

Well, im the guy to answer this, a fly fisherman.You probably have dry flys. This means the fly you bought, was pre-tipped with a powder that makes the fly float. I'm guessing, the powder reacts with the "other fluids" creating a no longer floating fly.
Use a fly zapper. flies and mosquitos are attracted to certain lights, and a zapper is something that they can't resist. Even if they fly by it, the chances of them going into it are higher than if you didn't have one.If you want something less lethal and more friendly, then use fly repellent. Some of them you can spray on your skin and because they hate the scent of it, they keep away from you.
Buffalo were prized for their meat, their hides, and their bones. Also used were their chips (dried dung) for fires. Their hair was used for pillows and rope. Their brains were used to tan hides.
