Tatooinian normal fly

The Tatooinian normal fly was a biting, swarming species of sand fly native to the planet. It was related to the solitary yeenx sandfly. The Tatooinian normal fly was first classified in 524 BBY by the Derimzo biologist Skrooth Ic’Erzen because the Deimzo were one of the few creatures in the galaxy the Tatooininan normal fly would not bite. It had many natural predators on Tatooine but its year-round reproduction kept the population fairly high. Most sentients considered them a nuisance and moisture vaporators were often clogged by breeding swarms. Banthas were known to attract them as well. Even the Sand People occasionally had difficulties coexisting with them, leading sentientologist Roumal Siulo to theorize that the Tatooininan normal fly may in fact be an invasive species from Drooft. Most biologists, however, felt Siulo’s hypothesis was not grounded in fact.
