Hi John,

The horse flies that I recall from my youth on the farm were shaped just 
like an ordinary house fly, but several times larger.  This thing has an 
elongated body, and the wings lay flat and parallel to the body when it is 
resting.  I suspect that its bite resembles that of the horse fly.
