    Ok, so Biggins thinks about many things during the day.
    One of todays thoughts was "Where are all the flies gone?"

    Seriously! Any able to say where they go during winter time or how come they just appear during summer?

    Its just one of those daft questions that occupies my pea brain occasionally! :D

    They fly south for the winter, just like birds and property developers.

    Damn, thought this thread was going to be about fridge magnets. Simpson's fridge magnets in particular.

    That's how I actually picture Biggins when he posts here (except I imagine him with less clothes).

    They crawl deep into the ground for a few months. At least the wasps do.

    Flies die out and their eggs/maggots going through a hibernation stage. They wait until its warm enough to wake up.

    Cheers. Where do they leave their eggs/maggots? It must be somewhere good to survive on any onset of bad weather.

    Some go in to diapause, some die. Depends on the type of fly.
