Horse Fly, Tabanus sp.
Insects in the order Diptera, family Tabanidae, are commonly called Horse flies, and sometimes also "forest flies" or "deer flies". The former, however, can also refer to Hippoboscidae, and the latter refers specifically to the horse-fly genus Chrysopss. Often considered pests for the bites that many inflict, they are among the world's largest true flies. They can be very noisy during flight. They are also important pollinators of flowers, especially in South Africa. Tabanids occur worldwide, being absent only at extreme northern and southern latitudes. Flies of this type are among those known sometimes as gadflies, zimbs or clegs. In Australia, they are known as March flies.
