SEASONAL ACTIVITY OF THE HORSE FLIES (DIPTERA, TABANIDAE) FROM THE CENTRAL BALKAN MOUNTAINS, BULGARIA
The seasonal activity of the tabanids (Diptera: Tabanidae) was studied from May to September (2010- 2011) in three localities on the territory of the Central Balkan Mountains. A total of 2232 specimens from 25 tabanid species and 8 genera were collected and processed. The first horse flies emerge in...
