Where do flies go in the rain?

They can go anywhere they won't get wet. This includes places like the bark and leaves of trees, porches, grass, or anywhere else. But I suspect many just die, and it is the babies that live on. Flies don't live very long anyways, and the larva grow up fast. If a generation of flies die, the next will be around in a little bit.

Some go airborne, some are transported by animals on their fur or in their droppings, some plants tumble away from their roots when the seeds are ready, and some just fall to the ground or into water and float away.

They are likely following air currents-Flies dont think about where they are going-they dont really "think" at all, in terms of making decisions.  THey just have simple reactions to ari currents, heat, light, and chemical sensations (food)-If they are circling, its because there are air current moving in a circular motion, and they are following those.

I assume you mean a fly that is flying inside a moving train?\n\nUm...the air must move with the train, I guess.  Um...you've just blown my mind.  I have no idea.

A WASP passing water?

Depends on where it is - temperature, humidity, insects, whether it is open to air, etc.

I have been observing for more than 40 years.\n\nOn many occasions I have seen spiders floating through the air.  Sometimes it is possible to see the silken thread from which they are suspended, also blowing in the breeze.\n\nBut I have not inspected the clouds that closely, although they are an object of my weather interests...\n\nNevertheless, I do know for sure there are many smaller living items that get carried away.  I highly doubt the clouds are "sterile."\n\nTiny insects get blown a long way in strong winds.  Sometimes the "fallout" reaches desert areas, and lo and behold there are other larger insects there always scavenging this valuable source of food!\n\nLarger insects serve as fodder for the desert mice.\n\nSnakes eat the mice....there you go.  \n\nOne spider rides the jet Stream:\nhttp://mywebpage.netscape.com/aln298/Animals/AnimalTidbits.html -- this very interesting!\n\nAirborne spiders can happen in mountainous or elevated areas, very breezy areas, and it could appear that insects are coming out of the clouds.  You don't need to go very high to actually get above the clouds in many instances.

Stop in a sporting goods store and ask for suggestions. It's late in the year for flies,there are no natural hatches right now.Try nymphs, and wet fish them.

They stay in the sky because they are part of our atmosphere. \n\nDefinition of a cloud - A visible body of very fine water droplets or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere at altitudes ranging up to several miles above sea level. \n\nThey aren't forced to drop to the ground unless they become larger droplets or bigger ice particles forcing them down by gravity - which is what would be rain or a storm.

They huddle under the leaves of shrubs, vines, and trees. Grassland birds nest within thick grasses. Many places, though, provide no shelter. Consequently, birds have evolved rain-shedding feathers. \n\nThey stay relatively warm and dry under their feathers. Still birds get wet. ...most birds don't seem to mind. If they can't find a place to hide, they'll simply stand in the rain. After the rain--and during--they fluff up their feathers to warm up and help themselves dry off."\n\nAfter a dry spell, even with shrubs and trees galore, they sit sometimes out in the rain and take showers.

Yup, it does.  If the air contains dust particles( also soot from car exhausts), rain drops will form a colloidal solution with the dust and carry it down to the ground, or in this case, your eyeglasses.  And when the rainwater evaporates, what are left are the dust particles.

Nope, it's still a fly.  But at least it would get the good parking places.....since it would be handicapped.

Damsel flies feed on other insects, as do their relatives the dragonflies. They fly during the day and sleep at night. Some species do fly in dark areas of forests only, though still during the day. Odanates (dragonflies and damselflies) are really cool bugs. They can display amazing colors. They can be amazingly fierce hunters, taking insects larger than themselves. For some great damselfly photos see http://www.martinreid.com/Odonata%20website/dragind.html

LOL\n\nIts actually some flies buzzing around you.  Take a shower.

if you hold a fly underwater for 20 minutes or so it will appear dead. if you put it on some paper towels and cover it with salt for a few minutes and then dust it off, it will jump up and fly away. also, vapor trails from airplanes are really poison that the government puts out to keep the drug companys in business.

Honey bees do not fly in the rain or when temperatures are below 50° F. Orchard mason bees will forage in light rain and slightly colder temperatures, providing some pollination when honey bees do not. This year in MN, we had extended periods of rain during apple bloom, which limited the time all bees could fly. Between the cold temperatures, the lack of "bee-flying" weather, and reduced number of honey bee colonies available for pollination, there will probably be a significant reduction in fruit set this year in some orchards. \n\nalso see:

dont ride in the rain.
