Have you ever seen a horse fly?

And not a horse in sight. :)

I think this is a horse fly(please correct me if I'm wrong)- males drink nectar while females bite animals.
[ just a fact, not a judgement. Lol]

"In the unrefereed literature, a noteworthy record is that of a male horsefly (Hybomitra hinei) that was estimated to achieve an airspeed of around 145 km/h (89 mph) while chasing an air rifle pellet (Kunzig 2000)."

Maybe the saying about a speeding bullet should be changed to...faster than a horse fly?
I know - not even close (modern rifle exit velocity is about 1,700 m/s (5,600 ft/s) but still... that horse fly is fast!
