The 3 Bodied Jet Fly

The Three Bodied Jet Fly is an extraordinary creature. In 2017 the insect was discovered on the south coast of Chile. Since then the amount of the Three Bodied Jet Flies have increased massively. Surprisingly it has been recently proven to be the cousin of a caterpillar and fly giving it its name. How exactly could you define this creature.

It’s body can average about 2-3 centimetres long and has a wingspan of 5 millimetres. It also has a stinger in between its 1st and 3rd part. The stinger contains a venom almost 3 times as more deadly than a bee. It has two wings that can enable it to fly at rapid speeds of 40 kph. However, only a small percentage have 4 wings which can make it travel 80 kph or more. Recently, beekeepers in California have spotted these insects attacking their hives. Weirdly it has no ears and heavily relies on its eyes to travel.

When it feels threatened, the 3 Bodied Jet Fly charges at the human or animal at an immense speed. It then grips on to the area it has landed and injects the venom into them causing major swelling and discomfort. Every year 17,000 die to the 3 Bodied Jet Flies. Scientists recommend to stay away from these creatures if you ever encounter one and if you do get stung wash immediately. Also it can fit through small holes so- BEWARE!
