Will black flies harm clematis?
Yes, black flies can harm clematis even though the plant in question tends to be disease- and pest-resistant if heat, light, moisture and nutrient requirements are respected. The insects in question may be either aphids or fungus gnats. Many fungus gnats tend to affect root health whereas numerous aphids compromise foliage by piercing leaf, stalk and stem tissue, by removing nutrient-rich xylem and sugar-rich phloem from plant interiors, and by vectoring diseases and pathogens.
How long are flies pregnant for?
Yes, flies do have offspring but not in the same way humans do. Females lay their eggs and wait for them to hatch.
Does a fly defecate every time it lands?
A fly does not defecate every time it lands but it is not uncommon for them to do so. They do not specifically defecate at certain times or in one place like many insects.
Horse flies are active in hot weather and prefer a wet environment, which makes it easier for them to breed.
Are there any dangers of spraying rubbing alcohol to kill fruit flies?
If you have pets or children it might. Fruit flies of course come when you bring in sweet fruits such as watermelon, melons and especially bananas. I usually wash all fruit right away to get any juice off them and if possible (other than bananas) I put the fruit in the fridge. Also be sure your in-home garbage pail is cleaned out after eating fruit. Clean all counters if you have cut fruit and you can use a mixture of bleach and water to do this (being sure to rinse well.) Once your fruit is gone so are the fruit flies. Also check the floor for sticky spots that may have dribbled on the floor and wipe up with hot water and a paper towel. You should avoid any type of ignition source is you are spraying alcohol around. It is extremely flammable. spray soapy water first. It kills them just as good and wont be flammable.

Physically, no, people, otherwise known as human beings, cannot fly. We can, however, fly using airplanes and other aircraft. Skydiving, a form of flying, is possible as well as Hang Gliding, where you hold onto a bar on a triangular mast in an updraft.
People cannot fly on their own. However if they have special technology like a jet-pack they can with training and safety equipment.
in aeroplanes they can!!!
How do you control flies in trees?
To control flies in trees place a container of apple cider vinegar near or hanging from the tree to kill them. Another alternative is to clean all debris that are attracting the flies to the trees. Flies thrive off of dead, rotting, and molding organic debris.
