Strebla is a genus of fly that sucks the blood out of host specific bats. Even though the genus Strebla is not very well researched there are a handful of species under this genus.
== Description == Strebla it is known as an ectoparasite meaning that this parasite lives on the external parts of the host. It is also monoxenous, which means it lives its whole life with only one host. This would make sense for the genus Strebla to also be hematophagous meaning that this genus feeds off of blood. As of now there is no evidence if the Strebla fly is harming the host or not.
