it was once reported going at the speed of 800mph but was proved wrong using logic.
the facts were:
- To maintain a velocity of 800 miles per hour, the 0.3-gram fly would have had to consume more than 150% of its body weight in food every second;
- The fly would have produced an audible sonic boom;
- The supersonic fly would have been invisible to the naked eye; and
- The impact trauma of such a fly colliding with a human body would resemble that of a gunshot wound
later it was calculated that the same fly was moving at a rate of speed around 25 mph, but the fastest a deer botfly was recorded was aprox. 50mph
AnswerYears ago the speed of a deerfly was published as nearly "the speed of sound". The experiment, the experimenter and the data has been thoroughly debunked....Additional information:
We have clocked deerflies in Wisconsin while cycling on the Lacrosse River Trail and the "400" Rails-to-Trails trail. They become somewhat discouraged after a few hundred yards at 12 miles per hour. You can actually escape them at 14.7 miles per hour.
The deer botfly travels at speeds of 25-50 miles per hour. The fastest speed would be around 50 mph but the average is down around 25 mph.

Deer flies are painful biters. They feed on the blood of deer, cows, horses, hogs, dogs, and other warmblooded animals.

Deer flies often attack humans along beaches, streams, and at the edges of damp woods.
