Cluster flies look similar to a house fly but are slightly larger and darker in color; they have distinct, irregular light and dark areas on their abdomen and short gold colored hairs on their thorax. Cluster flies are also much slower-moving than other types of flies.
Though they do not sting or bite, fruit flies do have the ability to spread some diseases and bacteria on the food and surfaces that they land on.
Why do I have a fruit fly problem?
