"I did see a large, harmless zarlit fly, purple, about two feet long with four translucent wings, spanning about a yard, humming over the surface of the water, then alighting and, on its padlike feet, daintily picking its way across the surface."
Book 6, Raiders of Gor, page 5
"When rain does fall, however, sometimes it is fierce, turning the terrain into a quagmire. Following such rains, great clouds of sand flies appear, wakened from dormancy. These feast on kaiila and men. Normally, flying insects are found only in the vicinity of the oases." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 152 ~¤~
"In the second level, that of the canopies,..... and the usual varieties of insects, ants, centipedes, scorpions, beetles and flies, and so on." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 311 ~¤~
"The zarlit fly is very large, about two feet long, with four large, translucent wings, with a span of about a yard. It has large, padlike feet on which, when it alights, it can rest on the water, or pick its way delicately across the surface. Most of them are purple. Their appearance is rather formidable and can one a nasty turn in the delta, but happily, one soon learns they are harmless, at least to humans." Book 24, Vagabonds of Gor, page 160
