Bites can be painful for a day or more; fly saliva may provoke allergic reactions such as hives and difficulty with breathing. [33] Tabanid bites can make life outdoors unpleasant for humans, and can reduce milk output in cattle. [33] They are attracted by polarized reflections from water, [38] making them a particular nuisance near swimming ...
Brennania belkini is a species of fly in the horse-fly family, Tabanidae. [2] It is native to the Los Angeles area in California, [3] [4] [5] and it is also found in Mexico. [1] It is known commonly as Belkin's dune tabanid fly. [1]
