Much as I might hesitate to express my abhorrence for an entire group of organisms, the tabanid flies leave me no choice. They are a vile horde of blood-sucking fiends, and they do not deserve their beautiful eyes.
Deer flies (also known as a yellow flies) are flies in the genus Chrysops of the family Tabanidae that can be pests to cattle, horses, and humans. A distinguishing characteristic of a deer fly is patterned gold or green eyes.
