Kangaroo flies (Horse fly, March fly)
Tabanidae: Scaptia singularisSitting on the end of my boots.I have posted this fly before but wanted to re-post it to give some idea of its size. I have only been bitten by one of these before. They are in this particular area regularly and seem to like black things. Black shoes, black trousers, black tyres...While we were out in the wet-land recently, a Robber fly came through and caught and ate one of these flies. This fly is BIG!!The
Robber fly was BIGGER!!!
