Humpback flies are usually found where?

• A. Indoors Around Lights
• B. In Water
• C. Outdoors Around Decaying Vegetation
• D. In Soil

Answer: (C)

Humpback flies are closely tied to decaying organic matter, especially damp plant material outdoors. They breed in and around decomposing vegetation where larvae feed on the decaying matter, so you’re most likely to encounter them in outdoor areas with decaying leaves, mulch, or compost. Indoors around lights tends to be behavior seen with other flies drawn to sugars or light, not their primary outdoor breeding environment. They aren’t typically associated with being in water or in soil as their main habitat. So outdoors around decaying vegetation best matches where they’re usually found.
