Flying Flies

Flying flies, also known as motus volantes, are a group of insect species that can fly. They are often found in nature and can come in different shapes and sizes. In this article we will look at what flying flies are and what features they have.

Flying flies are divided into two main types: **ectoparasitoids** and **endoparasiticides**. Both species can pose a threat to human and animal health.

Ectoparasitoid flies belong to the family Lauxaniidae and are parasitoids as they form parasitic relationships with other organisms such as ants or other flies. This means that they live inside these organisms and feed on their food. Some of them may cause allergic reactions or infections in their owners, although this has not been proven.

Endoparasitocides belong to various families of flies that are capable of parasitizing agricultural pests such as insect larvae or eggs. These flies lay their eggs in the objects they parasitize, after which the larvae grow and kill their hosts. This type of fly poses a serious threat to agriculture and can lead to reduced yields and increased food prices.
