The horsefly is an insect belonging to the family Tabanidae of Diptera. Adults are bigger than ordinary flies, with big heads and fine hairs on their bodies, like bees. Mouth degenerates, does not eat food, and mainly lives on the blood of mammals. Living in the wild.
Eggs are laid on the hair of horses, donkeys, mules, etc. The hatched larvae are brought into the body when the animals lick their hair and parasitize in the stomach. Male horseflies feed on pollen and nectar, while females feed on animal blood. Horseshoe flies are large in size and sharp in mouthparts, and they will be painful after biting. They attack large mammals, including humans. Some horseflies have no sound when they fly, which helps them not to be found by their prey when they secretly eat.
As soon as the horsefly falls, it will bite people and animals' skin and suck the blood out. Their larvae live in silt and moist soil and feed on small animals. Female horseflies are bigger than males. Before the horsefly can be taken out, it is necessary to stick adhesive tape on the wound to suffocate it. After 24 hours, you can tear off the tape. The unique way of spawning is the unique skill of the horsefly family. After the horsefly larvae enter the skin and feed on human tissues, the victim's body will form ulcer-like swelling. It looks appetizing. Larvae's fangs-shaped mouth hook can scrape off connective tissue, and twist its body while eating and continue to drill into the body. When it was about the size of an almond, it began to climb out, climbed out of the skin surface, fell to the ground, pupated, turned into a horse fly, and then began to look for its next target. Horseshoe flies attack various hosts, including humans, so they are called host horseflies.
