Order & Family: Order: Diptera; Family: Muscidae
Size: 3 to 10 mm in length
Natural Habitat
Found in various indoor and outdoor environments, often near decaying organic matter, trash, or kitchens.
Diet & Feeding
Larvae/pupae don't eat; adults feed on a wide variety of liquid or liquefiable substances, including human food and waste.
Behavior Patterns
The pupal stage is a non-mobile phase where the larva transforms into an adult fly; it is typically found in warm, moist, dark areas.
Risks & Benefits
While larvae help decompose organic waste, adult flies are significant vectors for diseases such as salmonella and E. coli. The image is too blurry for a definitive identification.
