Crataerina Pallida
''Crataerina pallida'', the swift lousefly, is a species of biting fly in the family (biology), family of louse flies Hippoboscidae. These flies are commonly encountered in the nests of the common swift (''Apus apus'') in Europe and Asia. The lousefly spends its entire Biological life cycle, life cycle associated with swifts. The adult lousefly produce larvae in the late summer months which then pupate and lie Dormancy, dormant during the winter months inside the vacated swift nest. These parasites have highly aggregated population distribution and high levels of host prevalence. The adult fly then hatch out in spring when the first swift eggs are laid, by the returning adults, and feed on the blood of the nestlings and the adults, sucking about 25 mg of blood every 5 days. They can be a serious Pest (organism), pest of adult and nestling swifts.
