Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike the pupa stage where the fly is stationary, when the fly transforms into an adult, they fly to different locations in search of food. After they are done feeding, they mate and eventually search for a suitable spot to lay eggs. The entire process then starts all over again.
Detailed explanation-2: -After reaching maturity, usually around the 12th day, the female fly can lay over 500 eggs in her entire lifetime, in batches of between 75 and 150.
Detailed explanation-3: -The house fly has a complete metamorphosis with distinct egg, larval or maggot, pupal and adult stages. The house fly overwinters in either the larval or pupal stage under manure piles or in other protected locations.
Detailed explanation-4: -The life cycle of a fly consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
