Flies

It is usually refered to as an exoskeleton but can also be called a carapace (\most often reserved for crabs and lobsters).

Simulium yahense

cold cause it is diein inside and going to be scare out of its tiny stupid mind so dont be mean it it ok?

Is there such a thing as a human bot fly? Yes, we're sorry to say there is. Called the torsalo, Dermatobia hominis, occurs in Mexico and Central America. Fortunately, getting one is an extremely unlikely occurrence for the average visitor. 2nd instar torsalo larva, note the hooks to hold it in place! One of the really cool things about this insect is that it lays its eggs on a mosquito and the eggs hatch when the mosquito feeds on a host. Do humans get warbles? Yes, (are you disgusted yet)? A torsalo warble While the maggot feeds on its host (you) it has to have a hole in the skin so it can continue to breathe. It takes about 6 weeks to complete development on its host. http://ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/botfly.html Is there such a thing as a human bot fly? Yes, we're sorry to say there is.

Yes, flies can live in spider plants. The insects in question will seek out places for food sources, protection from environmental stresses and predatory encounters, and shelter both indoors and outside, with just about any plant serving as a likely option for meeting the above-mentioned requirements.

Not knowing too much about insects, I dó know that (some) flies are definitively carnivores (inspect any fresh roadkill and you'll see them buzzing around and also eating from the roadkill).

Other flies feed on plants/fruit or other organic materials - for example the wellknown fruit flies. I suppose they can be considered herbivores.

Whether some flies are omnivores (eating both plants/fruit and meat), I cannot tell you.

By the way: why is this question in the 'Baseball' category ?

No they go into hibernation and thaw out in the spring. Try catching a live fly, putting it in a baggy, stick it in the freezer, let it go into hibernation take it out set in on your hand and watch it spring to life. This works as a cool magic trick for "bringing a fly back to life"

Flies don't fly in a straight line because they use a zig-zag flight pattern called "cast and surge" to navigate their environment more effectively and avoid obstacles. This erratic flight behavior helps them quickly respond to threats or changes in their surroundings.

You've probably seen a fly scurrying across your ceiling. Although its body is totally upside down, it doesn't fall off. Flies have six legs attached to the thorax, or middle section, of their bodies. Each leg has a foot. On the underside of each foot are two tiny claws. Under each claw is a hairy pad called a pulvillus. These pads are covered in a sticky, glue-like liquid. When a fly walks on the ceiling or any other surface, the pads stick or clinglong enough forthe fly to keep its balance. Thislets flies walk upside down without falling off.

Flies have a hibernation-like state called 'diapause'.

Cluster and face flies are found in homes, churches, hospitals, apartment complexes, commercial and public buildings and other structures. These large, sluggish flies, sometimes called "attic flies," appear on warm, sunny days during late autumn, winter and early spring. They occur in large numbers, especially at windows and in rooms not frequently used. They make irritating, buzzing noises, spin around and move sluggishly. When crushed, they leave a greasy spot on upholstery, carpets and wood surfaces. Cluster flies in hospitals may carry infectious bacteria on their bodies. They do not bite humans nor feed on structures or furnishings. Buildings or houses located on an exposed hill top are attractive sites.

Adult cluster flies resemble house flies, but are slightly larger, about 5/16 inch long, narrower and nonmetallic gray. When at rest, they overlap their wings at the tips, whereas the house fly does not. Also, the thorax is without distinct stripes, contains many short, yellow-golden hairs, and the dark gray abdomen is hairy with light and dark patches of color. When crushed, the cluster fly has an odor resembling "buckwheat honey."

Adult face flies are similar in appearance to house flies except for being larger and darker. Male face flies have large, compound eyes that nearly touch on top of the head, whereas house flies do not. Female face flies have a silvery stripe around the eyes in contrast to the golden-like stripe of the house fly. The face fly has a slate-gray thorax.

Female cluster flies lay eggs singly in soil cracks and crevices in the vicinity of the earthworm, Allolobophthora spp. Eggs hatch in three days and the larvae (parasitic stage) penetrate and develop in the bodies of earthworms. This larval stage lasts 13 to 22 days, and the pupal stage, 11 to 14. The life cycle is completed in 27 to 39 days. There are about four generations during the summer. Populations vary from year to year, sometimes worse after wet summers.

Adult cluster flies move to protected places to hibernate (overwinter) when the days shorten in mid-August. Flies cluster on the warm sides of buildings in late summer during the day. As the sun goes down and temperatures cool, flies crawl into the building through cracks, especially under eaves, gaps in siding, etc. Large numbers may group together (cluster) in attics, unused rooms, wall voids, basements, tree holes and other darkened sites. They are attracted to light, light-colored siding and structures on lawns and pastures inhabited by earthworms. They enter rooms through sash-cord openings, cracks in windowsills or baseboards, loose-fitting vinyl or aluminum siding, and other small openings. They become active whenever temperatures rise above 54 degrees F indoors from early autumn to mid-spring, especially around windows with sunlight.

Cluster flies do not breed in buildings but leave hibernation sites in the spring (they often swarm onto windows on warm sunny days) to return outdoors for reproduction activity. Just as they become a nuisance in the fall while seeking hibernating quarters, they are also bothersome in the spring, trying to escape.

Face flies are serious pests of cattle and horses. They often overwinter in homes and other structures near pastures where these animals are kept. Eggs and larvae develop in fresh cattle dung (not when it is crushed over). During the summer, adults annoy the faces of cattle and horses, where they lap exudation from the eyes, nostrils and mouth. The larval stage lasts three to ten days, while the entire life cycle requires 14 to 18 days.

Initiate control tactics before flies enter buildings in large numbers. (Work should be done in midsummer.) Control cannot be permanent until the openings through which these flies enter the home are closed. Both cluster and face flies, which normally live outdoors, are difficult to control after they have gained entrance into homes and other structures. They often hibernate in wall voids and other inaccessible places. It is important to prevent fly entry by using caulking compound or other suitable material to fill all cracks and openings near windows, doors, electrical outlets, switchboxes, vents, etc., especially on the south side of the buildings, where these flies most commonly enter. Seal holes, cracks and splits in siding, especially up under eave troughs and along the roof. Maintain the house in good physical condition with adequate screening and use of yellow, non-attractive insect lights. Use screen ventilators, louvers, air-conditioners, etc., with copper, bronze or aluminum screens rather than wire screens to prevent rust. For temporary indoor relief, dead, dying or sluggish flies can be picked up with a strong suction vacuum cleaner, shop-vac or broom and dustpan and discarded. A few flies can be dispatched with a fly swatter or folded newspaper. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2110.html This is the link the answer was gathered.

The bullet that flies the farthest would typically be a smaller, lighter bullet with a higher velocity. Factors such as bullet weight, shape, velocity, and the firearm used can all affect the bullet's flight distance. Generally, bullets fired from rifles with longer barrels and higher muzzle velocities tend to travel farther.

they fly forwards and diagonally upwards and when they are close enough they stretch their front legs forwards so that the tiny hooks on their feet latch on. Their momentum then swings the rest of their body upwards until they are stood upside down on the ceiling facing the opposite direction to the way they were flying.

when flys land on you they barf but when they lift of they poop they poop is actually good for your skin but the barf can sit and sink into your skin so its good that after a long day to have a shower and get the barf off.

No, they do not vomit, poop, or pee everytime they land, this is only a myth. The common house fly spits on food that they can sense is edible. The sensors are located on the head and feet. If flies threw up everytime they landed there would not be much left of them or they would dehydrate and die. House flies are not feeding all the time so therefore they are not (spitting) everytime they land. The bad stuff comes from their feet, which previously could have been on manure or garbage.

herbivors i think

Some species of stoneflies (there are 1700 species) are carnivores some omnivores, and some are indeed herbivores. They will variously hunt small invertebrates (eg insects), scavenge, or consume leaf litter. Their presence is considered an indicator of clean water, as they are sensitive to pollutants.

You can cross fruit flies with different mutations, such as curly wings or ebony body color, to produce various mutant combinations. By crossing flies with different mutations, you can generate new mutant combinations and study their effects on traits and behaviors.

The theory behind this hack is that the reflection of light off the water-filled bag with a penny confuses the flies, making them think it is a predator. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support this method as an effective way to repel flies. Some people have reported success with this method, while others have not.

My duck poops at least 80 times a day. Her poop varies by what I feed her. If she sticks to the all in one grain then her poop is firm and less. If she eats peas( her favorite) and lettuce then it is more often and more loose. The smell is determined by what she eats also. If I feed her worms and bugs then it is really stinky and stains. With just the all in one mix from the grange it does not stain. Her poop is also determined by how much water she drinks. My duck is a in door domesticated pet and the best pet I have ever had! I am 43 and she is 9 months.

No! bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial, animals and bothersome flies will stay off the bamboo. On the contrary the bamboo in your home will improve the quality of oxygen because bamboo is the largest producer of oxygen that grows in this planet. It is recommended to plant a bamboo in cities that lack trees, it will grow three times as fast than a regular tree, and will produce more oxygen than any other tree, also if you think about rejuvenating yourself do what I did; I bought a brand new bed with a matress pad made out of bamboo, a bed sheet set from bamboo, some expensive bamboo quilts and the evironmentally friendly, washable chiropractic pillows, together with my blind bamboo set, I also bought an air purifier for my bedroom, add to all this a bamboo plant in every major corner of the house, and this is called rejuvenation through better quality breathing and sleeping. Every morning I wake up I feel like a new man, not growing old at all.

My husband says he remembers reading in his Biology book that a house-fly can fly 10 to 12 miles an hour. If its outdoors and with the wind it can fly up to 15 miles an hour. No wonder I'm no good with a fly-swatter.

I have found that placing a couple of saucers with wine (I use white wine, but red would probably be just as good), in the areas where you see them. The fruit flies are attraced to the wineand then drown..

Electricity can disrupt the navigation and sensory systems of fruit flies, causing them to become disoriented and unable to react quickly enough to avoid the electric source. The electrical currents may also interfere with their nervous system and cause paralysis or even death in severe cases.

It is quite unlikely. Due to our ability to adapt to any environment and because our weak do not die, humans have stopped evolving. Even if we did evolve to have wings, our shoulder bones are not strong enough to support the weight, and our chest and backbone are not fused like birds are, so we would be unable to support flight.

No, flies have compound eyes like many insects. They are very good at detecting motion.
