Description:
L: 5-7mm, deer fly are ectoparasites and feed on blood. They usually attacks deer, occasionally horses or humans; they may transmit the bacterium: Bartonella schoenbuchensis. This deer fly had broke off its wings - or the wings broke off when I grabbed her - and tried to pierce my neck, before I replaced her on this tissue for shooting.Lipoptena cervi LINNAEUS, 1758Genus: LipoptenaFamily: Hippoboscidae (louse flies or keds, Lausfliegen)Suborder: Brachycera (real flies, Fliegen)Order: Diptera (Zweiflgler)Subclass: PterygotaClass: InsectaSubphylum: HexapodaPhylum: ArthropodaNE-Slovakia, Slovak Paradise (Slovak: Slovensk raj) National Park, vic Cingov, ca. 600-700m asl., 11.10.2011IMG_5004
