When Morgan mated a white-eyed male fruit fly with a red-eyed female fruit fly, the first generation offspring all had red eyes. In the next generation, because females would have the X chromosome for white eyes, about half the offspring would have white eyes. The offspring with white eyes were all male, meaning he discovered eye color in fruit flies showed a sex-linked trait.
The result of this was a generation of red eyed and white eyed individuals. If the red eyed female was heterozygous, this is possible.
We live on a chicken farm (flies galore), and use cloth diapers, so I've seen my fair share of maggots... tonight was a record though. Took off a diaper with a tiny poo in it, got the kids ready for bed, read them a story, and forgot about the diaper on the bathroom counter. Went in about 15 minutes later (half an hour since changing time), to dunk the diaper and then put it in the pail. Already, there was a pile of maggot/fly eggs next to the small poo... beats the previous record of an hour :S

Can flies lay eggs in human hair?
Not just the Botfly, the Screw Fly also lays eggs in humans. It is a subtropic genus of flies that lays eggs in living hosts, including humans. The Screw Fly larvae, called screwworms, will burrow themselves into the skin of the host, and if disturbed, they will burrow even deeper. They have been known to cause major tissue damage in humans and other animals.

How do you get rid of circling flies on your patio?
These flies are hard to get rid of. They are a type of biting fly that are not attracted to foods that house flies are attracted to. They are circling around for mating purposes. They best way to get them is a combo of fly tape and aerial sprays. They tend to rest on walls waiting for the opposite sex to arrive and the mating dance starts. You can get then with the spray when they are flying and by placing the strips (fly paper) close to the walls as possible.
I do not know what they are called but they live in the overflow drainage of your sink. Boil water with dish soap in it and pour it down the holes in the back of the sink.
shrimp does not eat water fleas they eat plankton just like whales.
Like everything else: it starts with evolution. They evolved from another small flying insect, maybe a bee or wasp.....or a beetle! they've been around forever. Anyway, then during mating season, the flies mate and lay eggs and when the eggs hatch, a baby fly is born.
Fly leveling is a leveling that is done to connect benchmark to the starting point of the survey line. In this leveling only back sight and fore sight readings are taken and auto level is moved strictly on the line joining benchmark and starting point of survey line.
