Who doesn't love Phorid Flies?
Well, you don't, and the inspector from the DOH doesn't.
But I love them, even though it's my job to exterminate them.
Phorid flies are just a brilliantly designed insect,
You probably recognize them by their habit of running really, really fast on a surface instead of just flying away. "Run Phorid, Run!"
Another interesting thing about them is that some species target ants as prey for their larvae, so they actually can help you reduce your ant problem. They will actually lay their eggs in the body of ant, and the larvae will crawl to the ant's head and eat it right off of the ant's body. How cool is that?
They also appear to have a little hump back shape to them.
As with all flies, your sanitation is the key to keeping these flies away from your crab shack.
Ew York City will be sprinting back your way tomorrow.
