Stomoxys calcitrans
Stable flies are pesky little insects that look like house flies but have a painful bite! They love to hang around farms and grassy areas, especially where animals are.
生息地: Grasslands
The Stable Fly is a medium-sized, grayish-brown fly with four dark stripes on its thorax and a distinct checkerboard pattern on its abdomen. It has a stiff, bayonet-like proboscis that juts forward, making it visually different from the similar-looking house fly.
