Yellow fly of the dismal swamp, Diachlorus ferrugatu, Tabanida (horse flies)

This species is found in the eastern US down through Mexico and Central America. Yes, "yellow fly of the dismal swamp” is the real common name, although it is also known as the yellow fly or doctor fly. Female horse flies need to take a blood meal in order to reproduce, so only females bite, and unfortunately, these will bite humans.

This is why nature can go fuck itself

So I take both my puppers to the dog park to play and not even a minute of being outside of my car I am bit by a fucking tiny yellow fly demon. My it wasn’t painful, but the fucker nailed my pinkie right between both joints. Not even a minute later my entire finger fucking swells into a goddamn sausage where I couldn’t even bend it. The swelling has gone down after popping a Benadryl, but my finger feels stiff and warm. Bending it causes some discomfort and I’ll be pissed if it is still like this in the morning. Long story short, nature is a bitch and yellow flies are the devil incarnate.
