Chrysops
Deer flies (also known in some parts of the Mid-Atlantic (United States), mid-Atlantic United States as sheep flies) are Hematophagy, bloodsucking insects considered Pest (organism), pests to humans and cattle. They are large flies with large brightly coloured compound eyes, and large clear wings with dark bands. They are larger than the common housefly and smaller than the horse fly. There are 250 species of deer fly in the genus ''Chrysops''. Their distribution is worldwide, though they have not been reported in Iceland, Greenland, or Hawaii. Deer flies lay between 100 and 800 eggs in batches on vegetation near water or dampness. During the larval stage, which lasts one to three years, they feed on small creatures or rotting organic matter near or in the water. After a pupal stage, they emerge as adults in late spring and summer. While male deer flies collect pollen, female deer flies feed on blood, which they require to produce eggs. Females feed primarily on mammals. They are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chrysops Caecutiens
''Chrysops caecutiens'', common name splayed deer fly, is a species of horse fly belonging to the family Tabanidae. It is also known by the colloquial name Scotch cleg. Description ''Chrysops caecutiens'' reaches a length of about .J.K. LindseCommanster/ref> The mesonotum and the scutellum are glossy black with yellow-brown hairs. The compound eyes have red and green reflections, with dark spots. The transparent wings have dark brown patches, located at the top and at the centre of each wing. The abdomen shows distinct black inverted-V marking (hence the common name of "splayed" deer fly). The legs are black, included the tibiae on the middle pair of legs. They are active from May to September. Biology The larvae of the splayed deer fly feed upon algae and organic matter in damp muddy soils. The adult female flies feed on mammalian blood (including on roe deer), in order for their eggs to mature properly. When they bite, they inject saliva with an anti-coagulating agent that ...
