How it's used

This term refers specifically to the family Evaniidae, which are easily identified by their small, abdomen that looks like a tiny flag or ensign attached to the thorax. While they are harmless to humans, their unusual appearance often draws attention when they appear indoors. The name is a colloquial descriptor based on their distinct shape rather than a formal scientific classification.
