Blood thirsty predator.
Sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of a Horse fly or cleg. This insect lurk in the forests and bite predators as they pass by. Not a pleasant experience as they have pretty sharp long fangs that leave your skin swollen and super itchy for days.

I am so glad. I think I may have been bit once as a child, or maybe it was my sister… Hurts. Phew indeed.

One or two bad memories from horse riding in Kenya.
I hope you did not get bit?

Hahaa. Yes they are shifty

Could be. I have no idea cos they bite humans as well as horses.

They really do sting when they bite. I wonder why they are called ‘Horse’ fly? – maybe because they are so big??

They are enormous, too. And if you try to slap them, they teleport away. 🙂
