It is summertime and houseflies buzz alongside mosquitoes. Both belong to a two winged insect group. Houseflies beat wings up to 200 times per second and can spread disease. They also help balance nature by eating other insects while mosquitoes serve as bird food.
Flies spread germs by landing on waste and contaminating food. Insects undergo metamorphosis from eggs to larvae to pupae to adults. A female fly can lay up to 2000 eggs in warm weather and live about 26 days.
A drought and flood cycle boosts mosquitoes as standing water from spring floods provides breeding sites. Female mosquitoes bite for blood to nurture eggs, while male mosquitoes drink plant juices. Disease risks include yellow fever and malaria, with history noting epidemics in the United States. Eggs hatch into wrigglers, then pupae, then adults. wrigglers move to breathe, pupae float and tumble, and adults emerge after wings harden.
