(m)\n\nCharacteristics\n\nPhorid flies, also known as humpbacked flies, are small  and resemble fruit flies in appearance.  The Phorid fly lacks the red eye color that is the classic trademark of the fruit fly.  Phorid flies are in the small category of flies, measuring up to 1/8 inch in length, including the wings. Color:  Tan brown with black eyes; small head; a severely arched (humpbacked) thorax when viewed from the side.\nBehavior\n\nThe most easily recognized feature (seen with the naked eye) is the habit of the adult Phorid fly running rapidly across surfaces instead of immediately flying when disturbed.   Most flies immediately take flight.  \nPhorid flies are common in homes and commercial facilities where food is prepared and served, but they are also a key pest in  food warehouses, and hospitals. Because these flies frequent unsanitary conditions, they are a potential health concern when they occur in food facilities and hospitals. Phorid fly larvae have been found in the open wounds of patients in nursing homes and hospitals.  \n\nHabitat\n\nPhorid flies are capable in breeding in more types of materials than any other structure-infesting flies. The reproductive potential of these flies is tremendous and very large numbers of them may appear in a short time.  Adult flies are strong fliers, having been known to travel as far as 6 miles within a 24 hour period.  Phorid flies are found throughout the world. In nature, they are typically associated with dead animals and heavily decaying vegetation. In buildings, they be may found breeding in drains, trash containers, dumpsters, rotting produce, recycle bins, grease traps, garbage disposals, crawlspaces, and any site where moist organic matter can accumulate for a few days or longer.\n\nControl\n\nThe key to controlling Phorid fly infestations is to locate and eliminate their breeding sources.  Although there are several sprays and traps used to kill flies in a home, restaurant or other structure, the infestation cannot be eliminated without eliminating their source.   If you locate a drain that is a breeding ground for Phorid flies, use a foaming drain cleaner to destroy the film in which the fly eggs and larvae are developing.  A surface spray is not recommended in this situation, unless there are great numbers of flies resting on the surface of trash cans, dumpsters or exterior walls.\n\nMany pest professionals have foam generators that will fill drain pipes coating all surfaces for effective Phorid fly control.

Some Butterflies do have a very short lifespan but not 1 day, unless killed. Remember their main role in the life cycle is to breed and lay eggs. Most Butterflies can achieve mating and egg laying within a in a  10 - 14 day period and would die soon after. Males usually die a couple of days earlier than the female Other Butterflies, particularly the fruit eating ones, have a much longer adult life span of sometimes weeks and months. The Monarch Butterfly is a migratory species and the adult life span is approximately 9-10 months.

IT IS CALLED A LACEWING

Fairyflies are tiny wasps (family Mymaridae) that are probably the smallest of all insects.   In Dicopomorpha echmepterygis, a Costa Rican species that parasitizes the eggs of other insects, the males may be no more than 0.139 mm in length.   Their tiny bodies, neatly packaged with complete digestive, reproductive, respiratory, and circulatory systems are actually smaller than a single-celled paramecium.

It sounds as though it could be a cabbage butterfly.\nThey have creamy white wings with a black dot on them.\nDo a Google search for cabbage butterfly, and then look at the images to see if that's what you mean.

The "angel bug" name is probably a local thing. They could be whiteflies or woolly aphids.\nCheck out some pics:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/pictures/Sternorrhyncha.html

The mutillid wasp, which is the South African velvet ant.

No, but there is a fly control product called "Golden Malrin", that is great...you sprinkle granules on the floor, and it attracts the flies.  When the flies eat the granules, it immediately kills them.  I use it all the time, and have seen the fly population decrease.  Hope it helps.

It is some type of fly. I have seen several also, and when i called my mom she says that they are flies.

I doubt anyone here has that information at their fingertips, but you might consider taking the wasp to your local plant nursery.  They may know all about it.

A healthy Caterpillar can turn either into a moth or a butterfly depending on its species. Butterflies are members of just a few of the families of the insect order Lepidoptera. The members of the other families are all called moths.  There are estimated to be about 10,000 species of moths. The adults of the butterfly families have some features in common: \nthey fly in the daytime (most moths fly at night), \nthey have a naked pupa (most moths have cocoons), \nthe adults have filamentary antenna with a knob on the end\n(most moths, especially the males, have feathery antennae), and they fold their wings up vertically above the body when at rest (most moths fold them over like a tent shape).

I believe a mosquito eater is a fish.\n\nCORRECTION\n\nThere is a fish for controlling mosquitoes but:\n\nThe Crane Fly is often referred to as a "mosquito eater" or "mosquito-hawk". It looks like an overgrown mosquito some growing as large as 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Unfortunately they do not prey on mosquitoes.\n\nA picture can be seen at:\nhttp://www.sutter-yubamvcd.org/Mosq-like%20insects.htm
