Types of flies in the Amazon rainforest?
One type of fly that lives in the Amazon Rain forest is a bog fly. Bog flies live in very damp and humid forests. They're well-known for their larva. A bog fly will lay its eggs on a leaf, wait for it to hatch. When a mosquito lands, the larva quickly climb aboard and are carried to a host. The larva will then mount the next living thing the mosquito lands on. The larva burrow in to the host's flesh and come up every so often to breathe. After the larva has burrowed, it is very difficult to remove due to the small hooks on the side of the body used to grip flesh and pull the small bug through the body of its host. Eventually, the fly leaves after reaching adulthood but the process is very painful for anything that undergoes it. If you want to know more, I recommend watching Monsters Inside Me on Animal Planet.

How is Amazon rainforest formed?
The Amazon Basin was formed 500 million years ago when Ancient Gondwanaland was broken up due the tectonic action between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. Sediment eroded from Gondwanaland brought by rivers flowing west, and being deposited where the Amazon Basin currently exists. 200 million years ago the convections currents forced the denser Nazca Plate to subduct underneath the lighter South American Plate causing previous sediments to be pushed upwards and form Fold Mountains such as the Andes, which are up to 6000m high. 1 million years ago high rainfall resulted in many rivers, (over 1000 tributaries) which eroded the soft rock of the Andes. The River was forced to change directions and flow into the Atlantic Ocean rather than the Pacific Ocean. This caused the rivers to deposit sediments on the flatter Basin and built up the flood plain. Over time the rivers have built up the basin, making it shallower and flatter. Today there is only a 100m-drop from the edge of the Andes foothills to the Amazon River Mouth.
