A housefly usually feeds on faeces, open spores, sputum, and moist decaying organic matter such as spoiled food, egg and flesh.
The mass and volume of a housefly can range quite a bit. The mass of a housefly can be around 12 milligrams and the volume is usually between 5-7 millimeters.
Both the mosquito and housefly have similar life spans. The housefly usually lives for 48 hours while mosquitoes can live slightly longer.
heterotroph. Autotrophs are producers, they rely on themselves to produce energy usually by photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis. A housefly does not produce its own energy, it relies on feeding on things such as fruit to break down and provide its protein, fats, energy. it needs to feed off of organic substances, therefore it is a heterotroph
A young housefly is called a larva, often referred to as a maggot. After hatching from eggs laid by an adult female housefly, the maggots are typically creamy white and have a cylindrical shape. They feed on decaying organic matter, which provides the nutrients necessary for their growth. Eventually, they will pupate and emerge as adult houseflies.
HUGE! be careful, they sense fear. They usually do not eat human meat, but will
The larvae of houseflies are maggots. They live in and eat almost any dead material, typically garbage or feces.
The mouth of a housefly is adapted for sponging and sucking, consisting of a proboscis that extends to lap up liquids. Houseflies primarily feed on decaying organic matter, nectar, and other moist substances. They use their mouthparts to break down food into a liquid form, which they can then ingest. This adaptation allows them to feed efficiently on a variety of food sources.
Scavenging
Houseflies reproduce through a process called sexual reproduction. The female lays eggs in decaying organic matter, which hatch into larvae (maggots). The larvae feed and grow, eventually forming a pupa, from which an adult housefly emerges. This cycle typically takes about 3 weeks to complete.
The larval housefly is referred to as a maggot.

The scientific name for the housefly is Musca domestica.
