Chauliodinae. Male fishfly (Chauliodinae ssp). Fishflies are members of the subfamily Chauliodinae, belonging to the megalopteran family Corydalidae. [1] They are most easily distinguished from their closest relatives, dobsonflies, by the jaws (mandibles) and antennae. In contrast to the large jaws (especially in males) of dobsonflies, fishfly ...
Loa loa filariasis, (Loiasis) is a skin and eye disease caused by the nematode worm Loa loa. Humans contract this disease through the bite of a deer fly (Chrysops spp.) or mango fly, the vectors for Loa loa.

A fly bearing third-stage filarial larvae in its proboscis infects the human host through the bite wound. After entering the human host, the larvae mature into adults, commonly in subcutaneous tissue. Adult females measure about 40 to 70 mm in length and 0.5 mm in diameter. Males measure some 30 to 34 mm by 0.35 to 0.43 mm.
The fish fly season typically starts in June and can last through August. Scientists aren't sure why they're present for so long, but think it has to do with the timing of different cohorts emerging.
The symptom of chigger bites that you're most likely to notice is, of course, the bites. Chigger bites tend to be small red, raised pimple-like itchy bumps. If you have chigger bites, there are ...
A bite is defined as coming from the mouthparts of the arthropod. The bite consists of both the bite wound and the saliva. The saliva of the arthropod may contain anticoagulants, as in insects and arachnids which feed from blood. Feeding bites may also contain anaesthetic, to prevent the bite from being felt.
Dobsonfly. Dobsonflies are a subfamily of insects, Corydalinae, part of the Megalopteran family Corydalidae. The larvae (commonly called hellgrammites) are aquatic, living in streams, and the adults are often found along streams as well. The nine genera of dobsonflies are distributed in the Americas, Asia, and South Africa.
