Pale Giant Horsefly
Tabanus bovinus
Adults fly through pastures, woodland edges, and wetland margins, often resting on vegetation. Males feed mainly on nectar, while females also take blood meals from large mammals to produce eggs. This large horsefly is a swift, persistent flier with cutting mouthparts capable of delivering a painful bite.
