Flies occupy unique and diverse roles within our ecosystem: some are pests which affect our agricultural and horticultural crops; other varieties act as vectors that spread diseases within the human and animal population. However, not all flies are harmful to humans: some species of fly play a role in facilitating crop pollination, whilst others are involved in environmental engineering, waste decomposition, and/or nutrient recycling, forming an important component of integrated pest management as effective biocontrol agents. Others even play a role in crime solving within the field of forensic entomology.
