How long does it take adult flies to emerge from pupa cases?
A
1-3 days
B
6-8 days
C
10-12 days
D
14-16 days
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -New adult flies will emerge as early as two days after pupation (at temperatures above 30°C) or over three weeks later at low temperatures (around 15°C).

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of development from pupal stages into adulthood often takes a couple of days to four weeks in temperate climates. In many climates found throughout Canada, house fly pupae may need as much as three to four weeks to fully develop into adults.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fly pupae are similar in function to butterfly cocoons: their hard, brown shells protect the inactive, developing flies. Over the course of three to six days, the pupae develop legs and wings, ultimately emerging as full-grown house flies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pupal Development The duration of pupation during which metamorphosis to the adult occurs varies with temperature, usually requiring about 10–12 days, but many species require several weeks or hibernate as pupae, often for 10 months or more.

Detailed explanation-5: -The blowfly life cycle consists of six stages: egg, three larvae stages, pupa, and adult. Microbes that can carry out their biological function even in the absence of oxygen in the air.
