If they're from the horsefly family, then they're golden-eyed...

Golden-eyes-elegant, slender creatures with long wings, folded at rest along the body "house", belong to the order of reticuloptera and to horseflies (referring in fact to flies - the order of diptera) have nothing to do. For humans, they are completely harmless, even beneficial, since their larvae feed on aphids. You have confused goldeneye with goldeneye - this is, indeed, a genus of flies from the horsefly family. They do not look like golden-eyes at all, they are typical flies slightly larger than a room fly, variegated, with mottled wings. You probably saw them in the summer on the beach by the river, lake, etc., they bite very painfully.

Why prohibit it? You just need to know which ones to use, and not invent new Russian ones if you already have Latin ones. smile.gif
