thread_title:  Hoax? 

message: The first 3 of these articles mention "horseflies," but the first two refer to biting flies that are classified significantly differently than the third:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse-fly
(Family: Tabanidae)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_flies
(Family: Tabanidae.....Genus: Chrysops)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_fly
(Family: Muscidae....Genus: Stomoxys)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housefly
(refers and links to the "Stomoxys" stable fly article, but doesn't mention "Horse flies":)
At the very least, it seems that these articles should acknowledge the phenomenon of "Horsefly" referring to more than one type of fly.

thread_title: Horse Flies vs. Stable flies

message: The linking between the English and German articles about Chrysops Callidus and Chrysops Relictus is odd. This article (about C. Callidus) links to the German "Goldaugenbremse" (=C Relictus, wrong!). This again links to Chrysops Relictus in English (good!), which itself doesn't offer a German translation (wrong!). The correct linking should be:
* Chrysops Relictus <=> Goldaugenbremse
* Deer fly <=> ? (couldn't find Chrysops Callidus in the German wikipedia)
If you wish to have any linking from Deer fly to a German article, I would go for "Bremsen" which is at least the family the deer fly resides in (English: Horse Fly, Latin: Tabanidae). But just choosing some random horse fly with a similar name instead doesn't make too much sense for me (and suggests Goldaugenbremse to be the translation of deer fly, which is totally wrong). 65.50.75.74 (talk) 02:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Where I am in Florida, a yellow fly is larger  and a bit more vicious then a deer fly. The former, as may be expected, is yellowish, while the latter is smaller and brown, as in the illustration.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:CC1C:92D8:9C81:D99C (talk) 02:49, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Same thing? 

message: The article states that deer flies are "smaller than wasps". Wasps range greatly in size from small parasitoids and gall wasps to giant hornets, and most species are quite small - smaller than most deer flies.130.102.82.169 (talk) 04:12, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
