HUGE fly in Korea
I was hiking on Hyoja Island in the southern part of South Korea when I ran across this giganto-sized specimen (maybe an inch or so long) What is it? I’ve never seen anything quite like it. It’s got some great eyes though, eh? Thanks,
Kian

Hi Kian,
All we can tell you is that it is a Horse Fly in the family Tabanidae and that she is a female. The females are the biters.
