Fleshflies

"Fleshflies? You mean, they eat human flesh?"

- Decumus Scotti

Fleshflies were insects native to the Imperial province of Black Marsh, the homeland of the Argonians. They did not bite the natives of the province, but were considered particularly troublesome to Imperials and other foreigners, as well as horses, whose flesh they ate. They were described as having blood-red bodies and as being as big as a small sand-grain. Fleshflies swarmed their prey, covering entire body parts.
