Hello,

I found this bug in my horse\'s paddock. I think it might have bitten her this morning as she was very jumpy. I\'m thinking she got it with her tail as it was not alive when I found it. Any idea what it is? It was larger than any horsefly I have ever seen, and doesn\'t have the same look.

Thanks!
