Reason they swell so much is when they hit a vein.

The pinchers on the mouth are big and you will know when they bite.

Got bitten on the back of my calve by a bastard horsefly a week ago when changing a battery for my girlfriends dad.
Felt it bite straight away and swiped it away, turned around to carry on and caught the fucker out of the corner of my eye go in for another pop, spent about a minute pissing about trying to avoid and swipe it with no success, but the big bastard must have got tired and landed on the tyre, so I took great pleasure in flattening the cunt, who has left me with a massive red swollen bitemark ever since! Should have trapped it and pulled the fuckers wings off!

So just to clarify, the first time it bit you on the arse and the second time it bit one of your tits - sorry couldn't resist it (i bet that's what the fly thought as well).
