Atylotus rusticus is a species of horse-flies in the genus Atylotus. It is found in Europe, Asia and North Africa.[1]
Atylotus rusticus belongs to the group of insects known as Endopterygota (holometabolising insects), which go through metamorphosis during their life. The larvae are radically different from the full-grown insects. Between the larvae stage and the grown stage is a pupae stage, where the fly's inner and outer organs develop.
