Chrysops dacne
Chrysops dacne is a species of deer fly in the family Tabanidae, described by Philip in 1955. The species name is a playful reference, sounding like 'balls of fire' when pronounced. Like other members of the genus Chrysops, it is likely a biting fly with aquatic or semi-aquatic larval stages, though specific details about this particular species remain poorly documented in available literature.
