Tabanus sagax

Tabanus sagax is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae, described by Osten Sacken in 1876. It belongs to the large genus Tabanus, which includes many of the familiar biting horse flies known for their blood-feeding females. The species is recorded from the United States, with specific distribution records from Vermont. Like other Tabanus species, adults are likely diurnal and females probably require blood meals for egg development, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
