Horse bot fly, cleats and sting flies

The horse bot fly does not sting, but instead it lays eggs on the horse, which later develop into troublesome larvae.

The horse bot fly is somewhat reminiscent of a bee. When the horse bot fly needs to lay eggs, it shoots its lower body forward and flies onto the horse and places the egg. Although horse bot fly neither sting nor bite, the horses often react violently to the horse bot fly.
