Speaking of flies in Australia, everyone who has been to Australia will sigh. Because the local flies are not only numerous, but also widely distributed. People can see flies in both arid inland areas and humid coastal cities. They are in droves, deeply affecting the lives of Australians.
These flies deal with people all the time and have no fear of human beings. What they like best is to circle around people's faces. As long as you stand in the street for a while, your mouth and nose may be regarded as a "resting place".
But most of the flies in Australia are fruit flies, which have no bacteria and can spread pollen. Therefore, Australians didn't deliberately kill flies, just waved them away. In the future, if you see a handsome boy or a beautiful woman waving to you in the distance, don't flatter yourself. People may just be chasing flies.

Why don't Australians regard flies as pests? There are three reasons for this.
1. Australia is a country with a very good ecological environment. Most of the flies here are fruit flies and will not carry large-scale diseases. In addition, many countries have long-term cooperation with Australia, importing some sterile flies from the local area for research, teaching and fishery feed.
2. Australians have a good ecological concept. They believe that flies belong to a part of the biological chain in nature. As fruit flies, they can not only decompose feces and corpses, but also pollinate flowering plants like bees.
