🦟 Bugs You Shouldn’t Seek

12. The Horsefly

Horseflies are large, noisy, and aggressive,
often found near water or livestock.

Only the females bite,
needing blood to nourish their eggs.

Their bite is not just painful but can cause allergic reactions,
with swelling and itching that last days.

Horseflies are fast and persistent,
making them a nuisance during outdoor activities.

Avoid swatting—they’re quick to bite in retaliation.

Wearing protective clothing and avoiding peak hours at dawn and dusk can help.
