OllieAustralian Common March Fly - Tabanus australicus
Tabanus australicus, commonly known as Australian common March fly, is a species of horse-fly in the genus Tabanus. It is endemic to Australia and found in the Queensland area.
The species was first identified by Australian entomologist Frank Henry Taylor (1886–1945) in 1919. It was incorrectly identified as Tabanus queenslandii by Ferguson in 1920.
It is blackish-brown in colour, 13–15 mm (0.51–0.59 in) in length, with 10 mm (0.39 in) grey wings. The ocelli is rudimentary or absent, the antennal flagellum usually with a basal plate and 4-annulate. On the wings the basicosta are without setulate, and the proboscis is relatively stout with large labella. (Text Source:Wikipedia)
My passion is wildlife photography and every day I will showcase one animal in my feed. I hope I can bring the beauty of nature into your home and show how amazing nature is.
Every single animal needs our protection, as they all play an important part in our survival.
Unfortunately, humans have wiped out on average 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970 a recent study finds. With my wildlife photo a day, I hope to showcase a fraction of them before they are gone…
