Soldier flies prefer forest areas. They suck on flowers, eat pollen or live off organic substances from animals. Some species live near water in which their larvae develop.

| They also feed on dung heaps and carcasses to obtain protein and minerals. 30 000 to 50 000 flies can be encountered at the same time, especially in autumn when they gather to overwinter and to mark their mating spots with special scents in the vicinity of their winter habitats for next year.

...pecially in autumn when they gather to overwinter and to mark their mating spots with special scents in the vicinity of their winter habitats for next year. In extreme cases, several hundred thousand can gather. In spring, after overwintering, the flies meet up at the marked places. Male Sepsis fulgens usually then visit dung-heaps where they await females for mating. The mating takes place at another location later on.
The female flies lay their eggs on dung-heaps or compost heaps. From the first or second day after hatching, the larvae begin feeding on feces or rotting parts of plants. At the end of their third larval stage the fully developed larvae turn into pupae. This hap...
...his happens in the dung or compost or in the soil below it. From egg to adult fly can take 14 to 32 days.
Parasitoid mites like Bonomoia sphaerocerae and Macrocheles insignitus are the natural enemies of Sepsis Fulgens. These mites also use the flies as a means of transport. Sepsis fulgens can also can be infested by the nematode Diplogaster coprophila.

| | | Root-maggot flies | | Root-maggot flies (Anthomyiidae) form a family in the order two-winged flies (Diptera), the suborder flies (Brachycera), the infraorder Muscomorpha (division: Schizophora, subdivision: Calyptrata) and the superfamily Muscoidea. They are divided into the subfamilies Anthomyiinae and Pegomyinae. The two subfamilies include the following tribes: Anthomyiini... | | |

The Drosophilidae, or fruit flies, of which about 3,000 species are known worldwide, can cause significant damage to orchards or individual trees. | | |

...rder Diptera. There are approximately 1,500 species worldwide, 110 of which are found in Germany. The Moth fly is 1 to 5 mm in length. The body and the wings are often very hairy. When stationary, the wings folded on the back resemble a roof. Moth flies are thus named due to their relatively large wings which are reminiscent of the wings of butterflies,. While the hairs of the males are in contrasting colors , the females are less remarkable in appearance. | | |
| | Fruit flies - Tephritidae | | Tephritidae are also called “fruit flies” and are a family of the flies. While about 290 species are found in Central Europe, there are approximately 4,500 species worldwide. Some examples of species are: Rhagoletis cerasi, Lonicera Fly, apple maggot and mediterranean fruit fly. | | |
| | Flesh flies | | Flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) are a family of the order Diptera. There are approximately 2500 species worldwide of which 10 are found in Germany. The family of Flesh flies is divided in 2 genera, Sarcophaga and Senotaina. In Germany, the marbled-grey flesh fly (Sarcophaga carnaria) is the most common. | | |
| Blow-flies have a preference for strongly smelling organic substances. Their mouth parts form a proboscis with which they can lick. They feed on nectar, pollen, honeydew, fungi, carrion and food waste.
Blow-flies usually lay their eggs (up to several hundred at one time) in strongly smelling organic substances such as feces or carrion. The excretions of the larvae can be problematic for humans. therefore meat which has been in contact with them should no...
