Identifying Flies in Nevada

Nevada, with its unique geography and climate, is home to a diverse array of fly species. From common house flies to pesky fruit flies, and even the occasional Humpback, Phorid fly, and the Cluster fly.

House flies are one of the most common and well-known fly species that infest human habitats. These medium-sized flies, typically measuring around 8-12 millimeters in length, are attracted to a wide range of organic matter, including food waste, garbage, animal feces, and decaying materials.

 

House Flies

 

 

Lesser house flies are small, flying insects commonly found in residential and commercial settings. While they are often mistaken for common house flies, lesser house flies have distinct characteristics.

Cluster flies are a common household pest that are known for clustering together in large numbers, often in attics, basements, and other dark and secluded areas of buildings. 

 

Cluster flies typically invade buildings during the cooler months, seeking shelter in attics, wall voids, and other protected areas. They are attracted to warm spaces and can become a nuisance when they emerge in large numbers.
