Do flies bother you? These 5 will give you NIGHTS

At least 150,000 species are known and their fossil record tells us that other animals were already annoying 240 million years ago, and we are talking about the zoological order of the dipteros , whose species best known are the flies, mosquitoes and taverns .

There are for all the dislikes, from those that infect food to bloodsuckers, from transmitters of diseases such as malaria, dengue or sleeping sickness, even those simulated who don't bite or spread disease, but get into your eyes and nostrils until you force yourself to use the repellent or lock yourself up at home.Here we'll talk to you of 5 species of less common flies, although worthy of any nightmare, and an entry in Science Daily Online.

Do flies bother you? These 5 will give you NIGHTS

1. Lucilia bufonivora does not have this scientific name in vain, if we consider that it is a European fly that is dedicated to make life impossible for various species of toads, but especially the Bufo bufo .

The fly and the toad where it nests.Notice that the poor have the insect eggs between their eyes

The fly places its eggs in the nostrils of the batracio and when the larvae appear they move inside the animal, feeding on the back of the eyes and its brain until the toad dies.

2.The Lucilia is not the only fly with this kind of behavior, there is a small and macabre family-at least for the spiders-known as the acroceridas , consisting of small-headed flies, which feed on of the ne ctar of flowers and have colorful colors.

Their dark aspect is again in the place where they put the larvae, and that in the case of these flies, it is in the body of live tarantulas.Although the aranas do not enjoy much sympathy among humans, it is possible that these awaken some compassion, if we consider that the larvae can be eaten inside the arana for a period of up to ten years .

3. Philornis downsi is a species of fly native to Brazil and Trinidad (Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean) that smuggled into the Galapagos Islands (ocean) Pacific), where it has become a plague for several endemic birds of these islands.

Again: although it is a fly that feeds on fruits, it likes to deposit its larvae in the nests of the finches birds, where they feed on the eggs.

4.There are at least two families of flies, Nycteribiidae and Streblidae , which have brought the level of parasitism from the larval stage to that of adult flies that behave like bloodsuckers and batsmen , including some species of vampires, that is, they are bloodsuckers of the bloodsuckers.

Note that this fly, of the Nycteribiidae family, has no wings

The species belonging to these families have renounced their wings and behave like lice, clinging to the bats body.

5. Oestrus ovis , also known as the sheep fly , usually deposits its eggs in the nostrils of sheep and goats, although you can also do it in the eyes of these animals.

Sheep's fly cycle

The larvae wreak havoc on the airways and even the brain, and the disease, known by the name of the fly, is extended by almost all regions of the world where there are sheep and goats.

And you would say that they could be considered nightmare flies if you were a bat, a toad, a sheep, an arana or a finch of the Galapagos, but hey, the nightmare could start with you transformed into one of those species, or in the fly.But be careful with any of them, because you can still be wrong and confuse you, and place your eggs in your eyes , mouth or nose. A true nightmare.
