Interesting read on these nasty things...

Many have asked “Why are greenheads just so nasty?” and today we are going to answer that. Greenhead flies live in and around the marsh their entire life. Eggs are laid on salt marsh grass and the larva will hatch and either be washed off or crawl down the grass. As larva they will spend over a year buried in the marsh until they pupate. Then as adults, both males and females will feed on nectar and other similar substances. The female then lays her first batch of eggs, and by a batch we mean 100-200 eggs at a time. All this time and still no bloodshed – yet. This female greenhead has just laid up to 200 eggs, is now famished and feeling quite aggressive. After 200 kids in one moment I am sure anyone would be pretty irritable! Now she is out for blood.

Now remember, she was just successful in laying a batch of eggs on a strict diet of nectar, but now she is on the hunt for blood she didn’t even need just because she is feeling aggressive. Nasty? That’s an understatement!

Flying the edge of the marsh she is seeking a large mammal with plenty of blood to spare and a horse or a human will do nicely. She knows that she will only be living 3-4 weeks more and would like to ensure her bloodline continues to grow by laying more eggs. Blood will serve as the protein source to help nourish the new batch of eggs.

Being that greenheads and mosquitoes are in the same order of insect (Diptera) and hunt the same way, you would think the bite would be very similar, so why does the greenhead bite hurt so much compared to that of a mosquito? Mosquitoes will suck blood from a single capillary in a manner such as a syringe when you donate blood. Greenheads on the other hand are a bit larger and bite differently. She will probe the surface area to find a place packed with multiple capillaries to feed from a large pool. Then she will use her scissor-like mouth parts to bite and begin sucking blood. As she continues to draw your blood, other mouth parts begin to work her deeper and deeper into your skin and this is when we really start to swat her away. Just like the mosquito, the greenhead injects an anticoagulant to keep the blood from clotting, and the pain you feel is your body responding to the foreign substance entering the body.

While DEET may help with mosquitoes, greenheads are much more immune to it being the large powerhouse of a horsefly. Check the wind before your visit to Assateague as a western wind will blow them from the marsh onto the beach where you will be trying to enjoy your beach day.
