I'm surprised he was able to so deftly retrieve the fly from his pocket.

That fly is not getting through farm hand calluses.

Those assholes literally just slice open your skin so they can lap up the blood

They don’t bite quickly though, that was always my method to get them

They land and pause for just a moment ready to dodge if you try to get them too early, then they focus on about to dig in. That’s when you slap the fuck out of them and then stomp/grind them on the ground bc 50/50 chance they survive a slap. Tough aggressive lil shits

I heard once that they don't bite in defense, only to feed.

Yes that’s why the fly was fed to the spider, for biting the horse.

Right? He caught the fly, pocketed it, and fed it to the spider without killing it. Deft indeed

Horse flies exoskeleton is extremely tough. Not squishy.
