The Fanniidae are a family of the two-winged (Diptera) and belong to the flies (Brachycera). They are small to medium in size and mostly gray in color.
The little housefly ( Fannia canicularis ) is known and can be found almost everywhere. It also lives in households and is now widespread all over the world ( cosmopolitan ). The larvae of these flies feed on putrid substances, very often chicken manure.

Curiosities
The discovery of Fannia scalaris in a piece of Eocene Baltic amber from the collection of the Natural History Museum in London caused quite a stir in the professional world . Although recent representatives of numerous Eocene insect genera - especially those from Baltic amber - are known, there was no reliable evidence that a species from this period of geological history that was around 50 million years ago survived. When the piece was examined again in 1993, however, it turned out that the inclusion was a forgery.
