Where Does Flies Sleep? by TK16(m): 2:30am On Mar 27, 2015
Have you ever wondered where on earth those flies that disturbs at day time run to when it is dark? After the troublesome day, caused by those irritating creature called flies, the disturbing sound produced by their wings, their continuous perching on your body and food that ends up driving you 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.

Flies
“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.
