Flies

An average adult house fly can lay up to 150 eggs in a batch, and may lay multiple batches in its lifetime. Each egg hatches into a larva, which then matures into a pupa before emerging as an adult fly.

Catching a fly and tying a string to it is not recommended as it can harm the fly and is considered unethical. It's important to treat animals, even small insects, with respect and avoid inflicting unnecessary harm on them. If you'd like to observe flies, consider using a humane method such as a bug catcher and releasing them back into their natural environment afterwards.

Flies have compound eyes made up of thousands of individual lenses called ommatidia. These lenses each capture a small portion of the visual field, which is then combined to create a mosaic image. Flies can detect motion very quickly with their compound eyes, helping them navigate and evade predators.

There is an African fly called a tse tse fly. This fly is very dangerous and can cause death. If bitten by this fly, a person can develop a sleeping sickness that can eventually lead to death.

The hairy growth on a housefly's legs and abdomen helps them detect movements in the air and sense changes in their environment. These hairs are sensitive to vibrations and air currents, which are important for the housefly to navigate, find food, and avoid predators.

Houseflies have compound eyes that allow them to detect movement and changes in light. They also have specialized hairs on their bodies that can sense touch and vibrations in the air. Additionally, houseflies have chemoreceptors on their antennae and feet that enable them to taste and smell their surroundings.

A normal male fruit fly has two sets of chromosomes: one set of X and one set of Y chromosomes. This combination determines the male sex of the fruit fly.

I've searched on google and read that they dont, although something that looked exactly like a flesh fly landed on my arm and bit me. Is this even possible or do they really not bite humans at all?!

Rats can carry diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, and plague, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with their urine, feces, or bites. They can also cause damage to property by gnawing on wires, insulation, and structural materials. Additionally, they can contaminate food and spread parasites like fleas and ticks.

The movement of the hand to brush away flies is called the Australian Salute

Flies have specialized pads and hairs on their feet that create a suction-like effect, allowing them to adhere to various surfaces, including upside down. Additionally, they have a high center of gravity and low body weight, which helps them navigate and stick to different surfaces without falling.

Flies' interaction to human is sometimes beneficial. The parasitic species of flies strikes grasshoppers, caterpillars and other insect that eats plants. Some flies aides in pollination and some flies are also food for animals such as fish.

The tsetse fly is known to transmit a parasitic infection called trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. This disease can be serious if left untreated, causing symptoms such as fever, headaches, joint pain, and in some cases, neurological problems.

Flies wouldn't be able to fly on the moon due to the lack of atmosphere needed for their wings to generate lift. The moon has a very thin atmosphere, about 100 trillion times less dense than Earth's atmosphere, making it impossible for flies (or any other insects) to fly there.

Spacecrafts fly by generating thrust from their rocket engines, which propels them forward. Once in space, they continue on their trajectory in a state of free fall, using the principles of inertia and gravitational forces to navigate. Their course can be adjusted by firing thrusters or engines to change direction or speed.

The house fly belongs to the family Muscidae. It is classified as Musca domestica. The stable fly is classified as Stomoxys calcitrans, and the little house fly as Fannia canicularis.

Flies have sensory receptors on their body that allow them to sense touch, temperature, and chemicals in their environment. They are capable of feeling sensations such as vibrations, heat, cold, and possibly pain. However, their nervous system is much simpler than that of humans, so their perception of these stimuli is likely very different.

Yes, sepia eyes in fruit flies is linked to the X chromosome and is a sex-linked trait. The gene responsible for sepia eye color is located on the X chromosome, which results in a different inheritance pattern compared to genes located on autosomes.

It is difficult to determine an exact number of flies that die every year as they have a relatively short lifespan and are abundant in nature. Flies play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers, helping to break down organic matter. However, their populations are constantly replenished through reproduction.

I don't know, but I caught one earlier today that is as big as a half dollar coin! I have tried to research the internet to see one comparable in size, but have been unsuccessful. I have never seen or even heard of one being this big, so I am wondering if this is just a mutated species, considering the lifespan of a housefly is typically 20-25 days. Any ideas if there is a university who studies these things or would be interested in the fly I caught?

cause they get cold. The small hairs which cover a flies body detect air movement and that is why it is quite difficult to swat or catch a fly, as the small hairs detect the rush of air caused by your hand or the fly swatter.

The first fruit flies were sent to space in 1947 on a V-2 rocket launched by the United States. These experiments were conducted to study the effects of radiation and space travel on living organisms.

Tse-Tse fly is an unusual specimen. Producing only one egg per cycle, these mature and can live up to 9 months. They feed on mammalian blood.

Trypanosomiasis is also known as sleeping sickness. It is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by the Trypanosoma parasite, transmitted to humans through the bite of the tsetse fly.

Some flies, such as female mosquitoes and tsetse flies, drink blood as a source of protein for egg production. However, not all fly species drink blood; many feed on nectar, decaying matter, or other insect prey.
