It is an ectoparasite on [[horses]], [[sheep]], [[goats]] and [[humans]]. They lay their eggs on the front legs of large animals. They bore their way in, causing damage and distress. They have been eliminated from European countries, but reinfestations occur regularly. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Flies]] [[Category:Parasites]]
