Flies

I don't think it would be that much. Researchers tell that it's max is 80 or 90 wing beats.

a fruit fly can lay 17000 eggs in 10 days

Unless you have about

There are many different insects that can fit into this category. The insect you are talking about sounds like a fruit fly.

I believe that it is an assassin bug. If you read on it says that it is the most painful bug bite on the continent. Hopefully this is your bug. It bit my eight year old son last night and he was in terrible pain. Copy and paste this to see if this is your bug. http://bugguide.net/node/view/20504

Baby flies are called maggot.

Have you ever squashed a fly and found maggots already squirming inside the fly? This is because some fly species are ovoviviparous - i.e. the eggs hatch inside the mother. Other flies eggs hatch immediately, as soon as they are laid (or reach a warm temperature).

No flies lay maggots, flies lay eggs, these eggs will hatch into maggots.

Every species of mantis develops wings when they reach adulthood.

Though some species may fly more or less than the next, they can all fly.

Females of some species may have shorter wings that they use for short flights or 'assisted hops' as I like to call it.

hope this helps ;)

Adult houseflies typically attain a size no longer than 1.25 cm (1/2 inche)

They don't! They have some nubs to help them move along, but they have no jointed legs.

green fly do bite and it does cause inflammation, the best form of defence is to stay on your guard with a rolled up news paper ready to swat them away. At all cost do not get sucked in by the way they look ( harmless an cute) this is not the case the little blighter's bight and it hurts. So if one lands on you kill it straight away.

dragonflies can be found mostly by rivers, lakes and streams

up to 2 weeks!

I had a problem of insects of all sorts hovering on my cement front porch at night mostly in summer until I covered it with a large outdoor carpet I bought from Home Depot. It appears the cement porch absorbed the heat from the sun during the day and retained throughout the evening. The carpet does not retain the heat and and the evening the porch cools down and insects leave.

green fly are hard to spot because they are smaller then you think they are

Incubation period of Dermatobia hominis vary from 5 to 12 weeks.

the sand or dune fly.

Certainly. For example, African Cece is.

Adults eat mostly nectar and pollen. Females require a blood meal before they can lay eggs. They suck blood from livestock and humans. The larvae prey on other insect larvae, snails, and earthworms

Maggots are frequently found in compost and they simply are a stage in the breakdown of organic wastes. Maggots are the larvae of houseflies which are attracted to the rotting materials and lay their eggs on it, thus speeding up the rate of decomposition. When the compost is ready to use, there will be no maggots because all of their food has been consumed.

An insect that is red with black spots is a ladybug. They can also be seen in other colors, like yellow and orange.

Common house flies have a protective exoskeleton that covers their entire body. This allows them to survive microwave oven treatments.

Maggots will form only from fly eggs laid on or near the meat. It is possible that the seal on the freezer will release and allow the flies or maggots to crawl into the freezer.

When a fly lands on a surface it will regurgitate to get rid of the food that it has previously been on which could be anything from faecal matter to rotten flesh.
