The lesser house fly (Fannia canicularis) , commonly known as little house fly, is a species of fly. It is somewhat smaller (3.5–6 mm (0.14–0.24 in)) than the common housefly and is best known for its habit of entering buildings and flying in jagged patterns in the middle of a room. It is slender, and the median vein in the wing is straight.
A newly emerged fly has many golden hairs on its thorax which may be lost throughout the life of the fly. The stripes on the thorax are not as prominent as on the house fly and the tips of the wings overlap when at rest. [9] The cluster fly is slightly larger than a house fly at 9.525-12.7mm (3/8-1/2 inch) long. [16]
