Tsetse flies are yellowish to brown, the abdomen may be uniformly coloured or transversed by stripes according to species. Two visually distinctive characters that are apparent to the eye are the forward projecting proboscis and the unusual hatchet shaped cell formed by the wing venation.
Tsetse flies are extremely important vectors of African trypanosomiasis, causing nagana in livestock, a fatal disease of horses and cattle, and sleeping sickness in humans.

Tsetse (pronounced /ts/e-/ts/e, teet-SEE, or set-see) are large biting flies from Africa which live by feeding on the blood of vertebrate animals. Tsetse include all the species in the genus Glossina, which are generally placed in their own family Glossinidae.
Tsetse have been extensively studied because they are biological vectors of the African trypanosomiases, deadly diseases which include sleeping sickness in people and nagana in cattle.

Tsetse flies are big biting flies from Africa. They can carry sleeping sickness, which effects humans and also something that can effect cattle, but I don't remember what it's called.

I think they are the things called chiggers to some. They leave little sores no illness.
