Atylotus rusticus is a species of horse-flies in the genus Atylotus . It is found in Europe, Asia and North Africa. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Atylotus rusticus belongs to the group of insects known as Holometabola (holometabolising insects), which go through metamorphosis during their life. The larvae are radically different from the full-grown insects. Between the larval stage and the grown stage is a pupal stage, where the fly's inner and outer organs develop.
