Lejuste, the inra article speaks of "normal flies" ... well, normal since at least 1921 ... : Cheesy:

Does anyone have a scientific explanation of why they sting more in a thunderstorm?

This is the anthrax fly:

It is a kind of fly common in the country, in stables, sheepfolds or stables where it finds in abundance the manure and dung where it lays its eggs which will give coprophagous larvae. She is best known now as the Stable Fly (which is also her English name),

Here! There is a sheepfold at 50m of my house. (and there are not a few piles of manure)
I have my answer, and the photo wiki corresponds.
Thank you to all of you.
:D

Funny, you seem to discover the beautiful collection of biting "flies" that are often called horse flies or flies and that we do not have the time to exactly determine their exact name, in the beautiful collection possible, the time to flatten them quickly before they bite:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taon
a beautiful and varied collection:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouche
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouche_charbonneuse

One of their characteristic is that the horseflies take a long time to sting by feeling them land, which gives time to kill them and they are a little slower than ordinary flies !!

I remember child; clouds attacking in the Pyrenees and there was interest in running!

There are everywhere where nature is intact, not filled with insecticides !!

Long live the pungent ecology !!!

No DD, I know what a horsefly is, it's very, very bad, here it is not the case. They sting, it tickles a little, that's all.

Hello,
I am new to this site.
this morning a fly stung me in my bathroom, in the shower!
it's not the first time that it happens to us but I would like to know which fly it is and why in the bathroom!
despite all my research I can not find the same! it is not the anthrax fly! and the one that stung me a dart in the posterior: p I found none like that on the net
the bite has the same effect as that of the mosquito! same result (big knob that itches and calms with application of vinegar)
I put you pictures but sorry for the quality I am not equipped to make beautiful picture! I have a bridge and this is what I do best in macro, I kept the fly if you want other photos, if you can advise me to do them.

Thank you in advance for your answers

I remain perplexed but if there are small ones like flies then yes it is even more possible that we live in the countryside and we have a pony. Usually we have horseflies but the "commons" they are always bigger and grayish! and we never had in the house of those there! and usually we are not bothered when our pony is grazing which is the case at the moment.
otherwise this is not the first time we are bothered with this kind of fly but until now it was small pinches at most but today it stung me this one! I find myself with a big button that I still feel tonight.
I was surprised to see a dart (we see it in the photos)

I would do the most beautiful pictures tomorrow outside if possible because for the moment it's raining!
merci de votre aide
