| Common Name: Cluster Fly
Scientific name: Pollenia rudis Size 8mm
Biology: Eggs are laid in soil cracks and hatch in about 3 days. Development time from egg to adult varies from 27-39 days. There are usually about 4 generations per year. Complete Metamorphosis. Habits: As the days shorten and the weather cools cluster flies enter buildings to overwinter, and can travel more than a mile to do so. They usually occupy attics ant wall voids. They normally use the same structure year after year. They can be a problem in the autumn, winter and/or spring days, in autumn they enter to hibernate. On warm sunny winter days and again in the spring they can also be a nuisance when they begin to leave the structures. Once stimulated cluster flies seek light. They can be found crawling around windows or around lamps and lights. |
