Tabanus punctifer, the western horse fly, is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae.[2][3] This species of horse fly is approximately 20.5 mm (0.8 in) long.[4] They are typically found throughout the southern and western parts of the United States. They can be found between Utah and Mexico, and between California and Texas.[4] The thorax is covered with long hairs that give it a creamy white color, while the abdomen is completely black.[4] Much like other horse fly species, the Tabanus punctifer female requires a blood meal for the development of their eggs.[5] Females will bite horses, livestock, and humans, making them vectors of disease for pathogens and parasites.[5]
