I don't know, but I caught one earlier today that is as big as a half dollar coin! I have tried to research the internet to see one comparable in size, but have been unsuccessful. I have never seen or even heard of one being this big, so I am wondering if this is just a mutated species, considering the lifespan of a housefly is typically 20-25 days. Any ideas if there is a university who studies these things or would be interested in the fly I caught?
Musca Domestica
Musca. The common house fly is scientifically named Musca domestica.
An average adult house fly can lay up to 150 eggs in a batch, and may lay multiple batches in its lifetime. Each egg hatches into a larva, which then matures into a pupa before emerging as an adult fly.
A fly is called a house fly because it is a common species of fly that is often found in and around human habitations such as houses. They are attracted to human food and waste, which is why they are commonly found in indoor spaces.
A house fly is a very well studied pest. The average wingspan of the nasty little bug is usually between 12mm-15mm.
