Now the interest of scientists and researchers in dipterous insects considerably increased. Blood-sicking dipterous insects (midges), include in the structure of mosquitoes (Culicidae), gadflies (Tabanidae), midges (Simuliidae) and other insects. The major factors determining the high number of midges are favorable climatic conditions for their reproduction and existence in combination with abundance of biotopes of cultivation (various reservoirs and marsh educations) and dwellings of an imago (existence of wood, shrubby or high grassy vegetation) and also presence of enough warm-blooded animals – a saturation source blood. The harm done by gadflies to the person and an animal is very big.
