Flies are diurnal insects, which means they are most active during the day and tend to rest at night. One reason for this is that flies are attracted to light, especially natural light from the sun. They use light to navigate and find food, and at night there is very little natural light available for them to use.

Another reason why flies don't appear at night is that many of their natural predators, such as birds and bats, are also nocturnal and hunt for food at night. This makes it safer for flies to rest during the night and avoid becoming prey.

Additionally, many species of flies are attracted to human-made structures and waste, which are typically more prevalent during the day when people are active. At night, when most people are indoors and the lights are off, there is less attraction for flies to venture out.

Overall, the lack of light, increased danger from predators, and decreased availability of food sources all contribute to the tendency of flies to rest at night.
