some flies pray on dangerous insects

they actually help pollinate

they keep the food chain stable

they help break down dead flora and fauna

They act as food for spiders, who are very important in maintaining the ecosystem. Many spiders kill thousands of insects on their own. There are hundreds of spiders in your house. Without spiders, the insect population would be out of control, and many of those insects destroy crops. Complete famine would happen if spiders weren't around to control the population, and flies are a primary food source for spiders.

On top of that, they pollinate, but not nearly on the level bees do. Some are species are predatory but a lot of them are herbivores, opportunistic carnivores, or are just simply scavengers.

@dapper

don't forget that they help decompose dead flora and fauna

otherwise we'd have dead deer bodies piling up everywhere and dead trees, too

They're also kinda secondary in that, similarly to how they're secondary pollinators. But yeah, they definitely help with decomposition.

Well, they lay eggs in a dead organism, and the larvae eat it when they hatch.

"Well, they lay eggs in a dead organism, and the larvae eat it when they hatch."

Right, like I said, they're secondary in the decomposition role. They're important in decomposing dead flora and fauna, but they're not as integral as maggots, for example.

Well, everything's fertilizer. It's not something that's exclusive to flies.
