Hello,
This is new, ordinary flies sting, and hurt.
This has happened to me 3 times this year, and to other people in my family.
In fact, they act like horseflies, but do much less harm.
Bizarre ...
What fly bites me?

It is a different species of housefly Musca domestica which she does not sting and has a trunk to suck.

In addition, the mosquito tiger shoukoukounia microscopic is very new since last year in all the south of France !!!
And it stings in clouds on the ground!
Also nests of small guépes who pursue you en masse under t-shirts, on 50m if you disturb them !!

Well I believe that "our" flies (from the north therefore) have always stung at times ... and it depends a lot on the weather (as said above: in stormy weather ...) or their sexual cycle or I do not don't know what ...

Stinging flies.
These flies seldom frequent the houses, but usually stand in the stables and stables, Among them we will quote
1 ° Cattle Stitch fly [4] or Stomoxe (Stomoxys calcitrans) [Dip. Muscid], a little bigger and a little more stocky than the house fly; its rigid, awl-like trunk protrudes beyond the head; she lives in stables and stables, where she stands mostly on the ceiling; she stings the horse and the ox sometimes the man, stormy weather [that confirms the other posts] and sucks their blood. In Texas, where this species has been some particularly abundant years, the animals lose up to 15 at 20 for 100 from their weight and 40 dairy cows at 50 for 100 from their milk due to stomoxes; in France, 1 liter of oats per day is estimated to be the loss caused by the disorderly movements of the horse to get rid of this insect;
