Nose flies
Scientific name: Rhiniidae
Description
Rhiniidae, often associated closely with rhinoceros due to the similarity in their names, play no role in the life of these giant mammals. Instead, Rhiniidae are types of flies, usually involved in vital decomposition processes, which helps cycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. This natural recycling helps foster a healthy environment, contradicting the often negative perception of flies as merely pests or vectors of disease.
