Tabanus atratus on its natural habitat--the tire of my neighbor's car. This is a male--note the scary eyes. I don't believe they feed on blood, so it must have been watching for females. I've John Acorn (on television!) attract them to inner tubes placed in the sun. Apparently they mistake a warm tire for a warm cow.Identification note: there are many species in this genus, but this large, all-dark one appears to be distinctive, browsing through BugGuide.

The 'March fly' or Ectenopsis sp from the Pangoniinae Sub-family appear in our local reserve in November/December. They have very brilliant coloured eyes that reflect the light in the late sun. We found them feeding on the Verticordia densiflora flowers. As yet we have never been bitten by them nor have they tried to sit on us or our clothing.Photos: Fred and Jean
