Where do Flies sleep?
Have you ever wondered where on earth

crazy.
Many people have been asking a lot,
this question…Where do Flies Sleep? The
answer to your endless question, that will through the help of 4truefacts end after you have read
this article.
Most species of flies, with Mosquitoes one
remarkable exception, are in fact just daytime fliers, said David A. Grimaldi, a curator in the
division of invertebrate zoology at the American Museum
of Natural History in New York. They require polarized light to lead them
visually.
“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.
