Identification
H. irritans is of the class insecta. Adults are between 3-4mm in length, and are grey with black stripes on the thorax. The larvae are yellow.
Life Cycle
The flies remain on the host, for most of their life cycle, leaving only to lay their eggs on other hosts - spreading the infection. The eggs hatch quickly, and mature on the cattle, mostly along the back, shoulders and sides.
The complete life cycle takes around a 1 week.
