Flies

Fly agaric mushrooms are commonly found in forests throughout the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in birch and pine forests. They prefer damp and cool environments and can also be found in association with other tree species.

When you get the fly swat out, the fly may sense the sudden movement or change in the environment and decided to fly away to avoid the potential threat. Flies have quick reflexes and are sensitive to changes in their surroundings, allowing them to escape harm.

Any trait that segregates strictly by sex would be a SEX-LINKED trait. So I suppose you could call this "sex-linked inheritance". In this case, it appears that there is a mutation in the "white" gene (which normally makes the pigment that turns the eyes red, by the way) on the X chromosome. Since only the males are displaying the phenotype, it would probably mean that the mother was heterozygous w/+ for this gene (+ indicates wild-type, which in this case translates to "red-eyed"). Furthermore, I can infer that the fathers were red-eyed +/Y (since if they were white-eyed, you would see some white-eyed female progeny), and that not all of the male progeny were white eyed (since half of them should have inherited the + copy of the gene). So your males should be approximately half w/Y and half +/Y, and the females should be half w/+ and half +/+. This type of inheritance called criss cross inheritance fom father to grandson through daughter.

You can kill fly larvae by applying products containing Bacillus thuringiensis, which is a natural bacterium that targets and kills larvae. Another option is to use commercial insecticides labeled for fly control, following the instructions carefully to prevent any harm to pets or humans. Another method is to physically remove and dispose of the infested material where the larvae are present, such as rotting food or organic matter.

hes dead, does it matter? biology huh? lets entertain eatchother, heres a joke!

ME: did i invite you to my BBQ

YOU: no, why?

ME: then why are you all you in my gril!?!?!

tffw = to funny for word, i just made that up! spread it around!!

You can find labeled diagrams of maggots in biology textbooks, entomology guides, or online resources like scientific websites, educational platforms, and insect identification guides. Use search engines and specify the type of maggot you're looking for to find specific diagrams.

no, they die in water, anphibians live on water and land

50% of the offspring would have white eyes. This is because all females from the cross would inherit the Xr from the male, resulting in red-eyed females, while males would inherit the Xr from the female fruit fly, resulting in white-eyed males.

A horsefly larva is a consumer, as it feeds on organic matter to obtain energy for growth and development. It does not produce its own food like a producer, nor does it break down organic matter like a decomposer.

The size of a gene can vary, there is no specific size.

However, the average human gene consists of 3000 base pairs (or about 1/1000mm). That's about 1/100 of the width of a human hair.

No, horse fly eggs do not burst out from under the skin. Instead, the larvae hatch and feed on the surrounding tissue until they are ready to pupate. This can cause irritation and inflammation to the affected area.

If a fruit fly gamete contains 4 chromosomes, then a body cell of a fruit fly would typically contain 8 chromosomes. This is because the gamete only contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, following the principle of haploid and diploid states of cells in sexual reproduction.

This trait is likely located on the sex chromosomes, as males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. Therefore, if the trait is located on the X chromosome, it will be more common in males because they only need one copy of the gene for it to be expressed.

Hamster sex cells have 22 chromosomes each.

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.
