They don't, without the heat necessary (absolute minimum at 4.444444444 degrees Celsius/ 40 degrees Fahrenheit but death can occur at anywhere below 10 degrees Celsius/ 50 degrees Fahrenheit) they slow down and eventually cannot fly, or expend energy on reproduction.
Flies do not hibernate. Instead, they enter diapause, a state of dormancy to survive periods of unfavorable conditions like cold weather. During diapause, fly metabolism and activity slow down to conserve energy until conditions improve.
Flies are attracted to sweet scents, so honey acts as a powerful lure. vinegar, on the other hand, repels flies due to its acidic odor. Therefore, the saying implies that being kind and sweet in your approach is more effective in attracting others than being harsh or negative.
Kinglets primarily eat insects, such as small beetles, flies, caterpillars, and spiders. They also consume some seeds and berries, especially during the winter months when insects are scarce. Their diet is highly diverse and varies based on seasonal availability.
Venus flytraps undergo dormancy during the winter months as a survival mechanism. During this period, they require a reduction in temperatures and light levels to conserve energy. To simulate dormancy in cultivation, it is important to mimic natural winter conditions by providing cooler temperatures, reduced light exposure, and withholding fertilizer.
Flies are attracted to feces because it contains nutrients that they need to survive and reproduce. The high protein content in feces provides flies with essential amino acids that help them thrive. Additionally, flies have a highly developed sense of smell that allows them to detect the odors emitted from feces from a distance.
They can eat almost anything, as long as it is rotting and a fruit or vegetable. Some examples are bananas, squash, tomato, and onions.
There are three potential answers to your Q. Many flies try to hide where its warm, underground or in trees and go in a "coma" where their heartbeat slows and they are in a near-hibernation stage. A more general answer is that the fly lays its eggs somewhere warm (mentioned above), then the fly dies. The larvae then hatch when its warm thus creating new flies. I heard the the typical "nat" lives no more than 24 hours, concluding it's impossible for most flies to survive an entire winter. Lastly some flies such as mantises and dragonflies lay their eggs underwater to protect them from the freeze.
They are conditioned to be around during the months of 'decompisition'. That's why during the winter months they are scarce. They are conditioned to be around during the months of 'decompisition'. That's why during the winter months they are scarce.
Flies are attracted to vinegar because it emits a sour smell that mimics the odor of rotting fruit, which is a common food source for flies. The strong scent of vinegar can also overpower other competing odors, making it easier for flies to detect and locate.
Maggots, which are the larval stage of certain flies, typically do not survive freezing temperatures during winter. However, some species can enter a state of dormancy or diapause, allowing them to endure cold conditions. They often find shelter in decaying organic matter or other protected areas where they can remain insulated until warmer weather returns. Once temperatures rise, they can become active again and continue their life cycle.

Fruit flies can survive in a freezer for up to 24 hours.
Because in the winter and atutem its to cold but in the spring it is just hot enough.........I think
Venus flytraps can survive of flies for their whole lives. hence the name. HAnnah =)
Cluster flies can survive in cooler temperatures, but they typically seek shelter in warmer environments during the winter months. At 20 degrees Fahrenheit, the conditions would be too cold for cluster flies to thrive, and they would likely become inactive or die due to the extreme cold. Therefore, without heat in the home, it would be unlikely for cluster flies to live there comfortably.
No it does not it on gets them tipsy
flies survive by eating different types of food eg. nectar from flowers, germ infested food from rubbish bins :)
