deer fly - Hirschlausfliege
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: HippoboscidaeSuborder: Brachycera (flies, Fliegen)Order: DipteraClass: InsectaPhylum: ArthropodaNE-Slovakia, Slovak Paradise (Slovak: Slovensk raj) National Park, vic Cingov, 700-800m asl., 11.10.2011IMG_4991
