From the regular dudes who are just trying to eat what sugar is left, we have the Nug fly who has developed a secondary set of wings in which to crudely hover and better evade the apex predators of this strange land. Prey species and mostly regular fly.
Never to be confused with a Gnat is the small fly. With so few moves left to play, the small fly ditches it's head entirely, now using nimble legs and small size to maneuver it's mouth parts to where they must be. A common prey species.
Wasp. The fucking wasp has improved it's offspring's chance of survival by directly injecting egg sacks into host flies. Fucking parasitic wasp.
The hookfly enjoys a status as a second-string predator, culling the weak. It itself is subject to predation by the maw fly, and this has caused it to develop a large light sensitive patch on the back of it's head which can alert it to impending attacks. Secondary predator.
The Maw fly has developed an even more powerful maw which it uses to quickly crush the heads of it's prey in one fell chomp. Apex predator.
Larvafly has grown a long coiled tongue which it uses to lap at the air outside the cup, getting the occasional bit of foreign nutrient or moisture.
Camelfly-A modified head allows it to resist the bites of the maw fly, as well as bore deeper into the wall of the cup.
Pigfly- Happy to fill the role of carrion eater, the pig fly dwells shamefully at the bottom of the cup, feasting on corpses and eating the excrement pile. Prey species.
Grubfly- the grubfly has shed it's wings, and moved on to eating the paper cellulose of the cup, now exposed by the wax eating camelfly. Food is plenty for these creatures. Prey species.
