March Flies are from small to large in size. They have large eyes with reflective iridescent colour. Their wings always have the ‘Y’ shaped veins at the tip. Usually there are the dense short hairs on their body. Their mouth is the strong straight proboscis for piercing and sucking. All male March Flies feed on nectar. Some species of female feed on blood, they target on horse, cattle and humans. March Fly larvae of most species live in fresh water, damp soil or rotting plants. The larvae are carnivorous, preying on insects and snails. March Flies are sometimes known as Green Heads.
