Black Fly

These pests are also known as musca domestica. They are in Diptera muscidae family. They are seen in almost everywhere in the settlement places. They eat organic wastes and garbage. They such and lick since they may not bite or sting due to their mouth types. Therefore, although they may not sting people and mammalians, they play important role in spreading of many diseases by contaminating the drinks and foods of the people with millions of harmful materials and microorganisms.

Midge Diptera (It is from "phlebotamidae" family of diptera class. They are largely seen in all hot climates and the Mediterranean climate; the adults of these flies, with only female ones suck blood, are similar to mosquitos. They may not go farther from their reproduction area since they do not fly very well. They hid in dark places in the daylight and come out in the nights causing pain, redness and rash on the places they sting. The female midges lay egg only once and they die thereafter. However, some of them may repeat such circulation few times. The eggs and larvae are grown in watery organic wastes or marches. They play significant role in contamination of the diseases like halep sore, kalaazar, and midge fever.

These tubes will be under the collars of the garments, inseams, arm pits etc. and the existence of the moth is understood with availability of web.

Larvae causes significant damages by eating wool, silk, fur, leather and furniture upholstery. They may sleep inside cocoons for 8 to 24 months in improper environments.

The larva period is completed in 30 to 35 days under proper conditions.

Pupa period lasts for 8 to 10 days, and 21 to 28 days in winters. They may lay eggs 3 to 4 times in heated buildings, otherwise they lay eggs only 1 time in single life time.
