A 28- to 36-day life cycle during which there is progression through four (4) life stages is what characterizes the life cycle of fungus gnats (Bradysia spp).

Specifically, the adult female deposits as many as 120 eggs in batches of no more than 30 at a time 8-10 days after mating. Within 4-6 days, the eggs hatch into slender, legless larvae with white bodies and black heads. In 12-14 days, the larvae move into the pupa stage. The fourth and final stage is the adult.
