The Bite of a Horse Fly
Apr 10, 2020 22:24:22 #
This is an expired Horse Fly that I found that was in pretty rough shape so I posed for a focus stacked session to show its "biting part". If you've ever been bit by one of these rascals you know that it hurts like the dickens and now you can see why when you see the sharp tooth like fang that they have.

Thanks, Mark. Just making the most out of expired insects I'm finding at times.

Thanks, Napabob. They are designed to puncture and then lap up the blood.

Eek, no wonder horses hate them.
Thanks, Brenda. It reminds me of the old can opener that you would use to open a beer or soda can back in the day.

Tinusbum, the deer flies hurt like the dickens too. I imagine that they have a similar dagger to stab for blood.
