We used to catch these as children and tie thread to them and watch the fly, lol. I haven’t seen any in YEARS ... I saw the first one since my childhood today. Actually quite a few of them. Came online to read up more about them because growing up, we didn’t have the internet (late 80’s early 90’s) and Ive always wanted to know more about them.

They collect on the screens, and if they can't cling, they fall to the ground. Dozens of them are on the front step every morning, trying to get back onto their feet. They either die there, or are eaten by birds. If you step outside in the dark of the evening, you will get "buzzed" by the yet incoming ones. They are considered a nuisance by the local population for their presence around the windows and doors alone. We didn't discuss whether they are harmful to the vegetation.
