Are horseflies a lie because they don't eat horses?

Ok let me introduce you to the barn owl

You're right. They only drink horse (and cattle) blood.

Horse or cow vampire fly is a little long winded for a name.

But they do? Along with any other animal that happens to be nearby.

That is the one insect I will go out of my way to kill.

Without a lie they'd just be horsefs

No it's because they take a horse sized chunk out of you when they bite you
