Tundra flies are flies native to the tundras of western Europe in 5 million AD. Their life cycle is incredibly accelerated compared to that of modern flies: they hatch, reproduce, and die in a very short period of time during the brief summer thaw. They provide food for a variety of migratory birds which also arrive on the tundra during the spring and summer.[1]
Notes[]
The name "Tundra fly" is not official, and has been given to this organism by fan conjecture based on dialogue in The Future Is Wild or on the organism's physical appearance.
