What are flys good for?

Question

Seriously they're nothing but pest!

Answer 1

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.
