Brits have been told to be on the look out for horseflies that can “tear flesh apart” and “bite through clothes”.
The hot weather and occasional thunderstorm has created the perfect environment for the flying menaces to mate in record numbers. "Left a huge red blotch which began swelling straight away. It was a horse fly – there are loads of them all of a sudden in this weather. They’re really sneaky too – I never felt it land on me, I only knew when it bit me. It didn’t buzz or anything, like a wasp or bee would.”
The British Pest Control Association has named the horsefly bite as one to avoid, on a list with a black widow spider.
