How do flies deficate on the ceiling when they are upside down?
Carefully.
As they weigh nearly nothing the effect of gravity is minimal.
You see the ceiling as smooth, flies see it as a very rough surface.
There are plenty of "handholds" for their feet with hooked claws at the end.
How do fruit flies fit into a food web?
Fruit flies are on the bottom of a food chain because they are not predatory. Fruit flies feed on crops and are eaten by small animals.
All you have to do to raise fruit flies is put some fruit in a jar with no lid. Grapes with no skin or bananas work well. When there are several flies in the jar, put a paper towel over it and rubber band. Put more banana in every week or so. This works best in summer or whenever it is above 60 degrees in the day for more than a week. Of course, you can also buy a kit from the internet.

Easy access and inadequate circulation and sanitation can be reasons for a fly infestation in the garage.
Specifically, some residents unwittingly encourage pests such as flies by not closing doors and windows. Other residents may keep the garage so tightly shut that circulation of air is inadequate and welcomes the flies that manage to enter during the few moments of open access. Either way, flies will congregate in a garage which has cracked ceilings, floors and walls or dirt surfaces. They also will cluster in garages where animals can enter and propagate before dying or which have loosely covered or uncovered garbage cans and plumbing facilities in which bacteria grows.
Control and prevention include:
Application of permethrin-based insecticides;
Cleaning and repair of garage interiors;
Removal of dead wildlife;
Rinses of sinks and trash cans monthly with bleach;
Seals on waste receptacles;
Window screens so that glass can be regularly raised and shut during daylight hours

most bugs don't have lungs so they don't breath like you and I. oxygen passively enters and exits their bodies through microscopic holes. if you impede oxygen from entering their bodies, they will only live for a short period. some bugs (ants for example) may be able to hold on to an air bubble which will let them live a bit longer if they've been submerged.
