Abstract:
Adults can be predators, hematophagous and detritivores or feed on numerous types of exudates from plants or animals. They can be attracted to various substances including sugars, sweets, tears, and blood. Larvae appear in a variety of habitats, including decaying vegetation or animals, dry or moist soil, insect, or bird nests, fresh or stagnant water, and droppings. The objective of the mini review consists of bibliographical research on the muscoid dipterans of the Family Muscidae. The research was carried out in studies related to quantitative aspects of the Family and Species (taxonomic groups) and in conceptual. A literature search was carried out containing articles published from 1971 to 2021. The mini review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás, from August to September 2021, through the Online Scientific Library (Scielo), internet, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Frontiers, Publons, Qeios, Portal of Scientific Journals in Health Sciences, https://goo.gl/gLTTTs and https://www.growkudos.com/register. Although some species are very common worldwide, such as the housefly and the stablefly due to their synanthropy, most species do not have this behavior, so they are restricted to some territorial areas, sometimes-small dimension.
