This species flies silently, and the female, which needs to feed on blood in order to reproduce, can deliver a painful bite (as many walkers will be well aware). The wings are divided by a pattern of veins into a number of areas that are referred to as "cells". One of these, located near the centre of the wing (and shaped like an elongated hexagon), is called the discal cell; the markings in that cell can be helpful in determining the species (according to "Collins Complete British Insects", the only other common species of cleg in Britain is H. crassicornis, although there are several other common species of horse-fly). The compound eyes of horse-flies are often colourfully banded, and this cleg is no exception; the presence of a space between its eyes reveals this fly to be a female. It is shown walking on a covering of lichen on a dry-stone wall. Date: 23 July 2008. Source: From geograph.org.uk. Author: Lairich Rig.
