How long can flies live?
The life span of flies is generally only about 30 days.

Flies are completely abnormal insects, and their life history can be divided into several periods: eggs, larvae, pre-pupae, pupae and adults. Although the life span of flies is only about 1 month, they are very fertile. The life course of flies is calculated in days. Egg stage is about 1 day, larval stage is 3-6 days, and pupal stage is 3-7 days. It only takes 7- 14 days from egg development to adult. Adults begin to move and eat 2 to 24 hours after molting, and can mate and lay eggs normally after feeding.

Flies can mate at 65438+ 0 ~ 2 days after emergence. Flies have the physiological characteristics that they can lay eggs for life once they mate. A female fly can lay eggs 5 ~ 6 times in her life, and the amount of eggs laid each time is about 100 ~ 150, up to 300 at most. She can reproduce 10 to 12 generations a year, and her reproductive ability is amazing.
