Flies have one pair of wings, so the species is dipterans. The flight wings are membranous, the second pair of wings has evolved into buzzers in insects, which produce a characteristic sound (purring) when flying. The wings of many move very quickly, 330 times per second in a housefly.
- Characteristic features:
- stout body
- short antennae
- body with sparsely spaced bristles
- active only during the day
- Reproduction
- rapid reproduction
- few eggs
- hatch into larvae

- Some species have a nuptial flight and others do not. The nuptial flight of blowflies is particularly interesting and complex. Before that, the male catches some small insects to offer to the female during the nuptial flight. In exchange for a wedding gift, he can mate with a female, and he also saves his life, because in the absence of a wedding gift, an aggressive female can eat the male herself.
Housefly
The housefly is the most well-known fly species that only lives in human waste because it has adapted to feed on human food scraps, animal manure and other waste. The housefly has several generations a year, lays its eggs wherever there is food for the larvae. Flies are troublesome and dangerous because they transmit phthalic diseases such as digestive tract diseases when they get from manure to human food.
Parms
Flies cause a lot of trouble, they come to suck the blood of humans and other mammals on a sunny day. Only female ducks suck blood, they need it to produce eggs, while males also get food from the nectar of flowers.
- Importance
- food for many animals
- parasites of some animals
- carriers of diseases
- suck blood (e.g. ferrets)
Vinegar flies
are a few millimeters long insects with a yellowish body. They have a short lifespan but are quite prolific. An adult female insect lives for a few weeks and can lay 30 to 50 eggs a day. Eggs are laid in a suitable environment for larval development, e.g. On rotting fruit, as well as near fermenting liquids. The larvae that hatch from the eggs do not feed on fruit or liquids, but on the yeasts that grow there. At a temperature of 25 C, development from egg to maturity takes 8-10 days, while at a temperature of 17 C, it takes almost twice as long.
Vinegar flies look for a suitable place to live by smell.
