In recent weeks, some of us may have taken the opportunity to spend a few hours working on our tans in the park or enjoying a day out at the beach.
But as the warm weather continues, so does the chance of getting bitten or attacked by some form of insect. Horseflies, also commonly known as clegs, have razor sharp jaws and can inflict a very painful bite.
They are large, dark-coloured flies measuring between 1cm to 2.5cm. As their name suggests, they like to feed off horses, so you’ll find clusters of them near stables and grazing fields.
