Musca is a genus of flies. It includes Musca domestica (the housefly), as well as Musca autumnalis (the face fly or autumn housefly). It is part of the family Muscidae.
The Brachyceran infraorder Muscomorpha is a large and diverse group of flies, containing the bulk of the Brachycera and most of the known flies. It includes a number of the most familiar flies, such as the housefly, the fruit fly, and the blow fly. The antennae are short, usually three-segmented, with a dorsal arista.
The house fly is found all over the world where humans live and so is the most widely distributed insect. [1]This is a list of common household pests – undesired animals that have a history of living, invading, causing damage, eating human foods, acting as disease vectors or causing other harms in human habitation.
The face fly is similar to the closely related housefly but is slightly larger, averaging about 7–8 mm long and grey in colour with four dark stripes on the thorax, with a grey-black patterned abdomen. Like many true flies, in the males, the eyes almost touch when viewed from above. [1]
The Nematocera (the name meaning "thread-horns") are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae.This group is paraphyletic and contains all flies except for species from suborder Brachycera [4] (the name meaning "short-horns"), which includes more commonly known species such as the housefly or the common fruit fly.
