Sandfly/Legends

The sandfly (also spelled as sand fly or sand-fly) was a species of insect found on the planet Tatooine. Sand flies could be found sitting on moisture vaporators, buzzing in the cracked eaves of pourstone buildings in the town of Anchorhead,Star Wars: A New Hope novelization and inhabiting desert caves. The insects buzzed around and disturbed banthas.
==Behind the scenes==
Sandflies were first mentioned in the 1976 Star Wars novelization. The 1991 Star Wars video game manual called the insects in the game "Flying Insectoids", but a guide to the game in an issue of Nintendo Power magazine used the term "Sand Flies." The sand fly was later mentioned in R. A. Salvatore's 1999 novel, The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime. It was again mentioned in the 2011 novel The Old Republic: Deceived and Riptide, both written by Paul S. Kemp.
