Barn flies and stable flies are distinct species from house flies, with specific characteristics that differentiate them. Barn flies, often associated with livestock environments, and stable flies, known for their biting behavior, belong to different genera than the common house fly (Musca domestica). Understanding these differences is crucial for effective pest management in agricultural settings. Research indicates that stable flies can significantly impact livestock health and productivity.
