Nutrient-rich substrates such as animal manure provide an excellent developmental substrate. & Pitts, C.W. Studies of Behavior of Macrocheles muscaedomesticae with Emphasis of its Attraction to the House Fly. (Hafez, 2005; Hewitt, 1914; Kelling, et al., 2002; Marshall, 2006; Robinson, 2005; Swan and Papp, 1972), Houseflies can fly in bursts up to 15 miles per hour. Taxon Information Larva: Early instar larvae are 3 to 9 mm long, typical creamy whitish in color, cylindrical but tapering toward the head. Adults are gray to black, with four dark, longitudinal lines on the thorax, slightly hairy bodies, and a single pair of membranous wings. After depositing her eggs, the female does not care for or interact with her eggs or larva again. In general, in homes the threshold is very low and control actions are taken with few flies. Myiasis is infection with the larval stage (maggots) of various flies. The common housefly, Musca domestica, is a considerable component of nutrient recy-cling in the environment. Disclaimer: Accessed The house fly, Musca domesticaLinnaeus, is a well-known cosmopolitan pest of both farm and home. Photograph by Jim Kalisch, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. living in residential areas on the outskirts of large cities or towns. Musca domestica domestica Linnaeus; Taxonomic Tree Top of page. Not only are house flies a nuisance, but they can also transport disease-causing organisms. January 24, 2012 Olfactory senses are used extensively to find food. Housefly populations are dense where human populations are dense. Notes on certain points of economic importance in the biology of the house fly. 1972. Amano K. 1985. (2003). (Bryant and Hall, 1999; Kelling, et al., 2002; Bryant and Hall, 1999; Kelling, et al., 2002), The main food sources of houseflies are milk, sugar, blood, feces, and decaying organic matter such as fruits and vegetables. Observations on the ethology and ecology of various Diptera associated with Northern California poultry ranches. Photograph by Matt Aubuchon, University of Florida. In females, the first 5 segments are visible externally. Ultraviolet light traps can be used to assess population levels, but also serve as a non-chemical control technique that can be used indoors in both agricultural and non-agricultural areas. Houseflies are highly abundant and not threatened or endangered. Seymour RC, Campbell JB. The legless maggot emerges from the egg in warm weather within eight to 20 hours. Lateral view of the head of an adult house fly, Musca domestica Linnaeus. Urban Insects and Arachnids: A Handbook of Urban Entomology. 1964. Journal of Economic Entomology 8: 54-71. The house fly, Musca domestica, is one of the best-known and most widely distributed insects known to humans. Musca de casa – Musca Domestica. Their sponge-like mouthparts require them to uptake food in either a liquid or dissolved manner. In South America and Australia, they are most common from October to February or March. Raspandire: Musca comuna, cunoscuta si sub denumirea de musca de casa, (stiintific: musca domestica) isi are originea din stepele Asiei centrale, dar acum o putem regasi pe toate continentele, fiind adaptate la toate tipurile de … (ed.). This disparity is due to dense dispersal of humans in an urban area compared to wide dispersal of humans in rural areas. Flies in several genera may cause myiasis in humans. Garbage cans and dumpsters should have tight-fitting lids and be cleaned regularly. Houseflies also require a source of water. January 24, 2012 NYS IPM Pub. They may disperse as little as 27 to 1080 m in urban habitats to 5 to 7 miles in rural habitats. In cooler weather, hatching takes up to 24 hours. Tissue distribution and lipophorin transport of hydrocarbons and sex pheromones in the house fly, Musca domestica Coby Schal 1 , Veeresh Sevala 1 , Margareth de L. Capurro 2 , Theodore E. Snyder 1 , Gary J. Blomquist 3 , and Anne– Swan, L., C. Papp. In situations where plumbing is lacking, such as open latrines, serious health problems can develop, especially if there are outdoor food markets, hospitals, or slaughter houses nearby. A ventral comparison of adult stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus) (left), and house fly, Musca domestica Linnaeus (right). The Housefly is a ubiquitous insect found in close proximity to humanity wherever he has gone. Orlando, Florida: Saunders College Publishing. In insects, "incomplete metamorphosis" is when young animals are similar to adults and change gradually into the adult form, and "complete metamorphosis" is when there is a profound change between larval and adult forms. They normally function by electrocuting flies that enter the trap, though those used in restaurants typically have a sticky panel. Canadian Entomologist 115: 1555-1561. Warm summer conditions are generally optimum for the development of the house fly, and it can complete its life cycle in as little as seven to ten days. Journal of Economic Entomology 86: 1746-1753.

Females lay oval, white eggs on moist animal feces, excrement, and garbage, preferably that is exposed to light. The underside of the male is yellowish. New York, N.Y.: Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc.. Tobin, E., J. Stoffolano. © 2020 Regents of the University of Michigan. Spilled feed should not be allowed to accumulate. Figure 9. 1993. West LS. (Bryant and Hall, 1999; Kozielska, et al., 2006; Kozielska, et al., 2011; Marshall, 2006; Robinson, 2005; Swan and Papp, 1972), Egg and larva densities are important factors in determining where females lay their eggs. Continuous exposure of flies to insecticides has led to development of insecticide resistance to many insecticides. Accessed The sex ratio of male to female houseflies is always roughly 1:1. The egg hatches, and the wasp larva feeds on the fly pupa. Like all flies (Diptera), houseflies have only one pair of wings. The common house fly (. Identification: House fly adults typically occur in and around barns, stables, feedlots and confined animal facilities. They avoid competition with other species of Muscidae by feeding on feces from different types of animals. In sensitive environments such as food preparation and packing facilities, restaurants, and hospitals, even small numbers of flies cannot be tolerated. Merchant ME, Flanders RV, Williams RE. Accessed Krafsur ES, Black IV WC, Church CJ, Barnes DA. The sticky card: device for studying the distribution of adult house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) populations in closed poultry houses. Musca domestica lives closely with humans and domestic animals, and often found in areas of human … Fly traps may be useful in some fly control programs if enough traps are used, if they are placed correctly, and if they are used both indoors and outdoors. Sex determination also depends on the mother's age and temperature. The larvae have mouth hooks used to filter-feed on masses of bacteria. They are capable of transmitting parasites that cause diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, bacillary dysentery, infantile diarrhea, tuberculosis, plague, leprosy, yaws, samonellosis, trachoma, and anthrax. The more nutrients larvae are exposed to, the larger adults they will become. Jalil, M., J. Rodriguez. Internal hydrocarbons increased dramatically in relation to sexual … Musca domestica was first described by Linnaeus in 1758 in the 10th edition of the Systema Naturae. They have a pointed anterior end, a blunt posterior end, and two spiracles. They are most abundant during the warm seasons, but some adults may survive through the winter season in temperate areas. Often, several flies will deposit their eggs in close proximity, leading to large masses of larvae and pupae. The picture shows the original description of Musca domestica which includes the diagnosis, bilbliography, distribution and biology [20]. 1. 1970. Large sticky traps for capturing house flies. This page has three tables, (1) Identification, (2) Look-alike … Musca domestica is the most common flies all over the world. 1970. In other words, India and southeast Asia. The manure should be removed once very early in the spring before any flies appear. "House Flies" (On-line). living in sub-Saharan Africa (south of 30 degrees north) and Madagascar. Adult: The house fly is 6 to 7 mm long, with the female usually larger than the male. This signifies a high concentration of nutrients, so larvae in those locations are likely to survive. Sanitation or cultural control. Grants DRL 0089283, DRL 0628151, DUE 0633095, DRL 0918590, and DUE 1122742. In North America and Europe, houseflies are common from July through September. Manure can also be treated with an insecticide, though this method is highly discouraged as it interferes with biological control of flies, often resulting in a rebound of the fly population. The home range depends on the availability of resources, specifically human garbage. Figure 4. 1981. Figure 5. A New Method to Control Houseflies. The Insects: An Outline of Entomology, 4th Edition. They may lay their eggs in human feces, where the maggots can filter feed on nutrient rich waste material. Fruit and vegetable cull piles, partially incinerated garbage, and incompletely composted manure also are highly favored sites for breeding. (Borror, et al., 1989; Dahlem, 2003; Hewitt, 1914; Marshall, 2006; Robinson, 2005; Swan and Papp, 1972), Like many flies (Diptera), mouthparts of adults are sponge-like. Lynsk TJ. Compound eyes also give them a keen sense of sight and the ability to recognize lights and motions. Quantitative PCR and ligand-binding experiments indicate that the GluCl and GABACl transcripts and proteins are predominantly expressed in the adult head. High-moisture manure favors the survival of the house fly larva. Among the pathogens commonly transmitted by house flies are Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, Escherichia, Enterococcus, Chlamydia, and many other species that cause illness. 2011. Age structure and reproductive biology of a natural house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) population. Females are slightly larger than males. Seventy-seven individuals from 14 populations of M. domestica spanning 4 continents were sampled and analyzed for the presence of Hermes transposons. Houseflies cannot ingest particles larger than .045 mm. Adults are inactive at night but move to artificial light during both day and night. MacDonald RS, Surgeoner GA, Solomon KR. Adult houseflies are inactive at temperatures below 7.2 degrees Celsius and die when temperatures go below 0 degrees Celsius or above 44.4 degrees Celsius. Humans have taken advantage of this trait, developing commercial repellents with odors they find unpleasant. It is important to manage potential insecticide resistance by rotating formulations with different modes of action. The Common Insects of North America. (Dahlem, 2003; Lam, et al., 2009; Marshall, 2006; Robinson, 2005; Swan and Papp, 1972), Several species of beetles and mites feed on houseflies. The abdomen is gray or yellowish with dark midline and irregular dark markings on the sides. 2004. Integrated fly control. Specifically, they prefer temperatures that are below 15 degrees Celsius, which is common at the edge of dung heaps or the ground immediately surrounding the dung heap. 2013. Recommended placement areas outdoors include near building entrances, in alleyways, beneath trees, and around animal sleeping areas and manure piles. They can beat their wings up to 1,000 times per minute, which creates a buzzing noise. Search in feature animals which must use heat acquired from the environment and behavioral adaptations to regulate body temperature. living in cities and large towns, landscapes dominated by human structures and activity. "House Flies" (On-line). Leaving a layer of old manure in the pits when manure is removed might enhance or stabilize the suppression of the house flies densities by parasitoids and predators. Journal of Economic Entomology 89: 940-945. Maximum egg production occurs at intermediate temperatures, 25 to 30°C. Outdoors, the control of flies includes the use of boric acid in the bottom of dumpsters, treatment of vertical walls adjacent to dumpsters and other breeding sites with microencapsulated or wettable powder formulation, and the use of fly baits near adult feeding sources. One trap should be placed for every 30 feet of wall inside buildings, but not placed over or within five feet of food preparation areas. The amount of sex pheromones in males does not affect how successful they are at mating. (Bryant and Hall, 1999; Hewitt, 1914; Robinson, 2005), Adult houseflies are diurnal, and their activity peaks at the hottest and driest part of the day, between 2 and 4pm. Kelling, F., F. Lalenti, C. Den Otter. On the behavior and sensory physiology of the house-fly larva, Musca domestica L. II. Gândac negricios (Alphitobius diaperinus) Metoda de aplicare: Boston Medical and Surgical Journal 151: 651-654. (Bryant and Hall, 1999; Kozielska, et al., 2006; Kozielska, et al., 2011; Marshall, 2006; Robinson, 2005; Swan and Papp, 1972), Several mechanisms exist for sex determination in houseflies: male heterogamy (the presence of a Y chromosome makes an individual male), a dominant autosomal male determining factor, a dominant autosomal female determining factor, a maternal effect factor "Ag" (where Ag/+ females produce only sons, +/+ females produce only daughters, and Ag/Ag means the female will die), and also an epigenetic male determiner (the interaction between another gene and female genes of the egg can result in a male offspring). Because houseflies exhibit many mechanisms for sex determination, geneticists and other scientists study houseflies to understand sex determination. 1915. University Press, Cambridge England. Houseflies are 4 to 8 mm long, and 6.35 mm long on average. It is believed to have evolved in the Cenozoic Era, possibly in the Middle East, and has spread all over the world as a commensal of humans. at http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/flies/house_fly.htm. A particular strain of bacteria, Klebsiella oxytoca, is known to reduce fungi growth in manure. They require food before they will copulate, and copulation is completed in as few as two minutes or as long as 15 minutes. Internal hydrocarbons increased dramatically in relation to sexual maturation and were found in the hemolymph, ovaries, digestive tract, and fat body. Among the more important are Muscidifurax and Sphalangia spp. House fly puparia, each with a hole from which a single wasp emerged after feeding on the pupa. Barnard DR, Geden CJ. at http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/esa/aesa/1970/00000063/00000003/art00026. (Jalil and Rodriguez, 1970; LaBrecque, et al., 1962; Murvosh, et al., 1964; Tobin and Stoffolano, 1973), Male and female adult flies are able to mate by the time they are 16 and 24 hours old, respectively. The house fly overwinters in either the larval or pupal stage under manure piles or in other protected locations. having a worldwide distribution. 1993. Their wings are translucent and fold back straight at rest. One strike takes 1 to 9 seconds to occur. February 24, 2012 Larvae prefer pig, horse, and human feces as opposed to cow feces, which is preferred by face flies (Musca autumnalis). They may disperse as little as 27 to 1080 m in urban habitats to 5 to 7 miles in rural habitats. A housefly has been recorded to have flown 20 miles. Though we edit our accounts for accuracy, we cannot guarantee all information in those accounts. A strike occurring on the ground involves the male jumping on the female. Bacteria on housefly eggs, Musca domestica, suppress fungal growth in chicken manure through nutrient depletion or antifungal metabolites. fertilization takes place within the female's body. Indoors, the control of flies includes automatic misters, fly paper, electrocuting and baited traps that can be used in milk rooms and other areas of low fly numbers. Figure 1. having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Seasonal abundance and parasitism of house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) pupae in enclosed, shallow-pit poultry houses in Indiana. Manure can also be liquefied and stored in lagoons anaerobically, though at some point the solids need to be separated. Wet straw should not be allowed to pile up in or near buildings. Feeding larvae prefer temperatures between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. In the context of livestock or poultry production, however, some flies are inevitable. 18 pp. chemicals released into air or water that are detected by and responded to by other animals of the same species, having more than one female as a mate at one time, reproduction that includes combining the genetic contribution of two individuals, a male and a female. The female’s main role is to decide whether to accept or decline the male’s mating request by extending her ovipositor to the male or not. 2002. at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/136/3514/388.short. the area in which the animal is naturally found, the region in which it is endemic. Jacobs Sr., S. 2007. House flies are monitored with baited traps, sticky ribbons, or spot cards on livestock facilities. A female that has mated before will more likely be passive towards copulation or resist it. National Science Foundation Around homes and businesses, screening or covering of windows, doors or air doors, and trash containers proves useful in denying access of flies to breeding sites. Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 66 (6): 1249-1257. 2000 NYS Livestock and Field Crops Project Reports Relating to IPM. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Kozielska, M., L. Beukeboom, F. Weissing, I. 1962. A female lays approximately 500 eggs throughout her life. Since straw is one of the best fly breeding materials, it is not recommended as bedding.
