House Fly

Commonly found globally in urban and rural environments, particularly near human food sources, waste, and livestock.

Scavengers that feed on liquid or semi-liquid substances, including decaying organic matter, human food, and fecal material.

Diurnal insects that rest at night; they undergo complete metamorphosis from egg to larva (maggot), pupa, and adult. They are known for their rapid flight and ability to walk on vertical surfaces.

A major pest risk as they carry numerous pathogens that cause diseases like typhoid, cholera, and dysentery; however, they play an ecological role as decomposers and as a food source for other animals.
