A summer without flies or mosquitoes? Who hasn't ever asked themselves this question? , but like all living beings, flies and mosquitoes play a fundamental role in nature, and without them many birds, fish, bats and amphibians would disappear.

Flies and mosquitoes are some #insectos which pass as egg, larva, pupa and adult.

Their size may vary depending on the species to which they belong.

La #mosca, is one of the most annoying insects on the planet. In general, the average lifespan of a fly is between 15 and 30 days. In this fleeting life cycle, a female lays between 500 and 1000 eggs in a single clutch, as they are monogamous and mate only once. After 10 days, she is considered an adult. The house fly lays its eggs in decomposing organic remains, to favor the future feeding of the larvae, which is why they are always rummaging through our garbage.

Los #mosquitos they have earned a bad reputation for their bites and the diseases they can transmit, although it is only females that cause stings, something they do for food, and because they need protein and iron in their blood for the development of eggs. After the bite, it will rest for 2 or 3 days before looking for some stagnant water capable of flying to lay its eggs like the inner walls of containers with water, which are moist, where they will live until their transformation into pupae and adult mosquitoes. Usually a female can lay several batches of 150 fertilized eggs in a single copulation. The life expectancy of a mosquito usually varies depending on the species and genus, between 10 and 30 days.

HOW TO PREVENT THEIR APPEARANCE?

Methodical home cleaning.

Use trash cans with lids, and empty them frequently.

Control the pantry, and place ripe fruits and vegetables in the fridge.

Cover drains when not in use.

Don't neglect your garden or flower pots, and avoid storing wood close to home.

Wash clothes before storing them.

Moisture is another risk factor, so rinse cloths and wipes thoroughly.

And above all, keep it handy! #VINFERMATÓN!
