Grey Bloodsucker - _TNY_8946 - a photo on Flickriver

            The notch-horned cleg (Haematopota pluvialis) is named so because its antennae have a notch in them. The "cleg" part has Scandinavian roots and in parts of Sweden, horse flies like this are called "klägg" (pronounced just like the English "cleg").

This species is also known as the common horse fly and withh it being a female, its purpose in life is to find a human or other suitable mammal use those mouthparts to cut a hole and then suck up blood which she needs to produce her eggs.
