It feels like anytime I learn something new about flies it's always bad! Are there any redeeming qualities about these vile creatures? Screw botflies, fuck screwworms, and toadflies can especially go to hell!

Why is there no "Fun friend who is super cool" fly? "Hangs out with your pets in a non-parasitic way" fly? "Doesn't hide in your floors and suck your blood in your sleep" fly?

#Worst part? Most of these are just different species of blow-fly #THERE ALL THE SAME MOTHERFUCKER #Screwworms are interesting though #so circa 1958 these bastards were fucking over american farmers left and right #And so what is a simple farmer supposed to do?#Well obviously you release a metric FUCKTON of sterile males into the wild during mating season!#So many in fact that they out compete the actually fertile males #They made them sterile by irradiating them btw #This was back when we had enough sense to just fucking massacre the bad animals #bring that back please
