The fly eggs hatch into larvae (also known as maggots) that feed on the protein and eventually pupate (cocoon) to become adult flies.
Houseflies lay their eggs on rotting meat so their maggots have a source of food on hatching.

Flies are drawn to the rotting material and get inside of it and lay their eggs. When the eggs hatch, there are the maggots. They then feed on the rotting meat.
Houseflies eat sugar, decaying animals, spoiled eggs, food and flesh.
Two weeks The average lifespan of an adult housefly is approximately 15 to 25 days.
A housefly's lifespan as an adult fly is typically around 15-25 days. However, this can vary depending on environmental conditions and availability of food and water.
The average lifespan of a housefly is about 2.5 weeks.
We can cover our food to prevent the housefly from landing on the food and contaminating the food.
Houseflies lay many eggs at one time because their offspring have a high mortality rate due to different factors like predators, lack of food, and environmental conditions. By laying a large number of eggs, they increase the chances of at least some of the offspring surviving to adulthood. Additionally, houseflies have a short lifespan and need to ensure the continuation of their species.
Yes they mate and then lay eggs in meat or rotting food which hatch maggots that turn into fly's
The typical life span of a housefly is around 15 to 30 days. This can vary depending on factors such as temperature, food availability, and predators. Houseflies go through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
