How are flies beneficial to the envirornment.?

Answer 1

They annoy the heck out of us and get us agitated so that we're more willing to declare war on another country and go kill people--thus flies help keep the world population in check [lol, I'm kidding].

Serious answer--flies don't exist to be 'beneficial' to the environment, they exist because they can-- they've found a way to eat and breed that works for them. Like mosquitos have.

Answer 2

They keep dead organism from polluting the atmosphere.

Answer 3

Food for spiders.

Answer 4

Insect world is the most misunderstood and the most undervalued of all the animals.

We are still understanding & learning from them. Everyday a new species of insect is discovered.

Flies are yet to be fully understood. Scientists are still discovering new facts about them and they are all ready using their maggots for treating incurable wounds.

So in the environment there might be more that they do apart from being a nuisance and a health hazard.

The most common beneficial things that they do are -

Food for other animals not just other insects but birds and small mammals as well.

Help in pollination.

They help in keeping the environment clean by using the dead flesh as a food and a breeding ground.
