It is a permanently fully winged fly, not shedding its wings on finding its host, as in some other Hippoboscidae. this means it may leave its host to deposit its larvae. They are good fliers. . In the UK they are know primarily from the New Forest and increasingly from South Devon. There are occasionally recorded from other part of the UK, though some reports as far north as the Scottish borders are considered dubious. Other mammals it may also live on are Red Deer, Camel, Rabbit and on birds, the Grey Heron, and the Northern Goshawk. They have been feed and bred on Guinea pigs in the laboratory. |
