A small bloodsucking fly that commonly attacks deer, horses, and humans, causing painful bites.
From 'deer' + 'fly'. Named for its preferred prey and common habitat near deer populations.
Deerflies see in color and are attracted to dark moving objects—humans noticed this and invented the 'deerfly trap,' basically a dark ball on a sticky board.
