Haematopota pluvialis horse-fly gets stuck

[chaosopher23]

He didn't swat at it because you need a .50 caliber antiaircraft gun to kill one.

Personally, I love them. If not for the fact that they carry disease, I wouldn't mind feeding them all the time. Not so much because I like pain, but one of these little monsters is like a chicken dinner to a small frog, or a feast to a spider.

How painful was that? I'm amazed you managed to stay silent.

@NotHomelessAnymore

It is worse than a mosquito bite, of course, but it depends on which body part they bite. This one in the video is biting the back of my hand, and that is not a bad place, like neck or face.

why would you let it suck your blood?

[ookkonaaoulusta]

@johny6489 To get a nice video!

[ookkonaaoulusta]

@Starloulou1990 It's my hand. I'm not an entomologist, just interested in horse flies. They are such weird animals.

[Starloulou1990]

@ookkonaaoulusta yeh they are soo strange... i am reli scared of them. one flew in my car when driving yesterday and i had to pull over and run out of the car screaming haha! i thought they sting though but i guess not, just bite

@ookkonaaoulusta

no, they are such an asshole animals

[khaerim]

haha fail

[ookkonaaoulusta]

@khaerim perhaps it is only the evolutionion.

[spryguy]

Whatever 'design flaw' mutation that fly had that caused him to get stuck, is gonna get passed on to a very unfortunate set of offspring, who may all also get the defect. It'll be good eatin' for the lizards.

[PGMEagle]

I would have cut the thing off

I'm glad she was able to finally pull out. I'd have helped her get unstuck.
