“As the day turns to dusk, flies take refuge under leaves and branches, on twigs and tree trunks, on the stems of tall grass and other plants,” Dr. Grimaldi said. “They typically will not overnight on the ground.

“Light/dark cycles are the primary determinant in flight times of flies,” Dr. Grimaldi said, “affected a bit by temperature.”

Certain types of biting midges, including mosquitoes and sand flies, are crepuscular feeders, preferring dawn and dusk, while others prefer night, he said. Black flies and no-see-ums, which are closely related to mosquitoes, are active only during the day or twilight periods.
The kinds of flies that most people think of as flies, including houseflies and bluebottle flies, are truly day fliers, Dr. Grimaldi said. Some, like the fruit fly Drosophila (the name means “dew lover”), prefer cool, damp mornings and evenings.
