.. In Gan Eden there were no such creatures as flies, mosquitoes or fleas
and other insects that breed in swamps. 

Only after Adam HaReshon was expelled from Gan Eden did he and subsequently,


all of mankind suffer from this pestilence, which was caused by the tumah of
Adam HaReshon's sin

 

I am unfamiliar with this midrash - I thought that all creatures that exist
were understood to have been created during 7 days of creation only.

 

has anyone heard this midrash before?
