Sunlit zebra stripes may confuse the thermal perception of blood vessels causing the visual unattractiveness of zebras to horseflies
Multiple hypotheses have been proposed for possible functions of zebra stripes. The most
thoroughly experimentally supported advantage of zebra stripes is their visual …

Horsefly reactions to black surfaces: attractiveness to male and female tabanids versus surface tilt angle and temperature
Abstract Tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) are attracted to shiny black targets, prefer
warmer hosts against colder ones and generally attack them in sunshine. Horizontally …

Attractiveness of thermally different, uniformly black targets to horseflies: Tabanus tergestinus prefers sunlit warm shiny dark targets
From a large distance tabanid flies may find their host animal by means of its shape, size,
motion, odour, radiance and degree of polarization of host-reflected light. After alighting on …
