familie uit de superfamilie Chironomoidea
Simuliidae is a family of small flies commonly known as blackflies or buffalo gnats. These insects are important because their larvae live in flowing freshwater streams and rivers, and adult females bite humans and animals to feed on blood, sometimes transmitting diseases like onchocerciasis (river blindness) in tropical regions.
