I wonder why their eyes are like that. Seems like a lot of the biting flies, like our Deerflies & Horseflies in the USA, have eyes like this or very rainbow colored eyes. maybe they try and hypnotize you before they bite, or they need a new antennae for better reception on their TV :shock: Very good photo Wim.

Thank you Beetleman! It is probably to compensate for their nastyness:)
