Certain'flies are said to be beneficial rather than injurious to man. The young of a- certain species of tropical mosquito, which is numbered amoug the flies, live almost entirely upon the young of other mosquitoes. In addition, there are also various kinds of flies that benefit man by preying upon caterpillars, beetles, and beetle larvae. One species will deposit thousands of eggs on the leaves of low plants and grasses. Caterpillars eat the leaves, swallowing the eggs. The eggs hatch and the young maggots feed upon the worms that swallowed them.

It is estimated that there are now abou; 20,000 elephants left in Uganda.
