Which came first the House or the Housefly?

I know this one!!! To get to the other side??!!!

Well, considering it evolved 65 Million years ago, i’d say the Housefly came first.

And it wasn’t named, b/c it came before people =)

The fly came first because it laid its eggs in the first schmoopiepapoopie.

Truth be told, a “house” was named after the housefly. Likewise Dr. House.

This common fly originated on the steppes of central Asia, but now occurs on all inhabited continents, in all climates from tropical to temperate, and in a variety of environments ranging from rural to urban. It is commonly associated with animal feces, but has adapted well to feeding on garbage, so it is abundant almost anywhere people live. From here.

It would seem that they existed well before us (and houses) but have evolved to take advantage of our messy lifestyle.

I have a similar worry: Which came first Fruit or the Fruitfly?

Bottle or bottle fly.
Lady or ladybug
Horse or horse fly.
Deer or deer fly.
Crane or crane fly
Blow or blow fly
Dragon or dragon fly
May or may fly
Cluster or cluster fly
Bee or bee fly
Sand or sand fly
Robber or robber fly
Screw or screwworm
Flesh or flesh fly

Fluther or lloydbird?

Wait.

@Quagmire, Dr. Gregory House was named after the common housefly?

Damn, Wikipedia has let me down again. There’s no mention of that most salient of points anywhere. :-\

@robmandu, oh yes. Few people know that.

In fact, I’m the ONLY one!

I was thinking along the lines of a ‘Homeless Fly’.
I also have the same concerns for the poor House Martin.
@Marina You got me there, what do you think?

What came first the Bot or the Botfly ?

@sandystrachan Didn’t the Botfly come out of a bot?

Obviously, the “housefly” came after the house, but the “fly” was probably here before any of us. Those annoying things.

Not only that, but was butter here before the butterfly?

Butter comes from a buttercup and for the buttercup to make butter it needs the butterfly . The butterfly grows from the seeds of the buttercup , buttercup came first then butterfly then butter :) . And even wiki should say that, if it doesn’t WHY the hell not!!!!

…the bar or the bar fly…

…The wall or the fly-on-the..
