A horse fly is a true fly (Diptera), with two wings, related to houseflies, fruit flies and more distantly to crane flies and mosquitos. It has complete metamorphosis, with a maggot larva and a pupa. Horse flies suck vertebrate blood.

A dragonfly belongs to a very different group (Odonata), is much more primitive and doesn't pupate into its adult form. Their nymphs are aquatic. Dragonflies hunt flying insects.
