| Abstract: | Four species of each of the genera Chrysops, Hybomitra and Tabanus were collected while feeding on cattle in south-western Quebec; T. quinquevittatus Wied. accounted for 75% of the tabanids. The more abundant species had a flight period of at least 5 weeks. Nearly 90% of the flies were positive for fructose (an important sugar in floral and extrafloral nectars) as determined by the cold anthrone test. |
