It's been crawling all over teen DD's neck and she's now having a strop. What is it??

Looks like a deer fly to me. But it's missing wings.

I'd strop too 🤣

Thought it was one of those jumping spiders but I can only see 6 legs??

She's now having a v long shower 😂

Actually she did say it felt like it was jumping over her neck and shoulder (but I thought she was being typically dramatic!)

@Queenfreak

"Once the insect reaches its target, it sheds its wings and starts burrowing through the fur."

I think you may be right. She'd freak if she read the above part Grin

🤢 looks like a clegg. I didn't know they went on humans! I've seen them on horses before.
