Pale Giant Horse Fly (Tabanus bovinus)

Description

Tabanus bovinus, sometimes called the pale giant horse-fly, is a species of biting horse-fly. As the name suggests, it prefers bovine animals as the source of blood, although it may bite other kind of mammals as well. The insect is relatively large for a horse-fly, adults usually being 25–30 mm long. Like most other horseflies, its compound eyes are very colorful with stripe-like patterns. Its body and wings are mostly colored brownish gray. It is quite fast and an able flier, being capable of evading most attempts to swat it with ease. It bites humans infrequently, because of its preference of bovine animals. This loud-buzzing horse-fly can be a nuisance, as it circles around its target and occasionally lands to deliver a bite (in the case of humans, the fly usually takes off again instead). However, to humans it is considerably less harmful than deer flies (Chrysops), which bite much more vigorously.

Description

It’s always sad to see an animal killed by helplessness. In the case of this juvenile sparrow (only 1 day old), and the unfortunate truth about nature, is that it’s not uncommon. Young birds fall from nests so regularly that a simple ground survey would reveal the brutality of nature. On the other hand, this natural cycle offers scientists an opportunity to perform studies that may reduce the frequency of similar occurrences. In the process, researchers may even discover breakthroughs that may lead to genetic or pharmaceutical discoveries.
