What is another word for horn fly?
Pronunciation: [hˈɔːn flˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The horn fly is a common pest of cattle, causing irritation, weight loss, and reduced milk production. This fly has several synonyms, which include the buffalo fly, tingle fly, and cattle louse fly. The buffalo fly is similar in appearance to the horn fly, and both belong to the same genus Haematobia. The tingle fly is named for the irritation they cause to the animal's skin, making them unique. The cattle louse fly is considered a close relative to the horn fly, but they are slightly larger and tend to stay in shaded areas rather than feeding on the animal's back and shoulders. Regardless of the name, it is important to control these pests to ensure the health and well-being of livestock.
