horsefly bite
Insect wound, bleeding
A horsefly bite is the wound inflicted when a horsefly cuts into skin to feed on blood.
Unlike mosquitoes, horseflies slash rather than pierce, creating a painful wound that often swells and itches for days: The horsefly bite on my ankle wouldn't stop throbbing.
The bites can trigger allergic reactions in some people.
