All About Insects: Horsefly (20 Pics)

#4 Many do not know what a horsefly looks like, and often confuse it with a gadfly or a huge fly.

The head of the horsefly is semicircular on a thin neck and quite mobile.

#5 Eyes shimmer in different colors. It has a small proboscis behind which sharp stilettos hide.

#6 The body of the horsefly is covered with chitin, transparent wings grow from the back, and triangular spots can be seen on the abdomen.
