Another 7 Facts about Houseflies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A fly beats its wings 200 times per second, 3 times faster than a hummingbird.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0 Each female fly can lay approximately 500 eggs in several batches of about 75 to 150.\u00a0 Within a day, the larvae or maggots hatch from the eggs which is pretty fast.<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0 Adult flies live from two weeks to a month.\u00a0 Small, puny flies are not necessarily young flies, but are instead the result of insufficient food during the larval stage as flies cease to grow after they emerge from their pupae.<\/p>\n

    4.\u00a0 The female fly is ready for mating a mere 36 hours after having emerged from the pupae.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    5.\u00a0 Copulation takes a few seconds to a couple of minutes.\u00a0 The female fly usually mates only once.\u00a0 This is because they store the sperm to use it repeatedly for laying several sets of eggs.<\/p>\n

    6.\u00a0 Flies do not actually vomit.\u00a0 They in fact spit when they land.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    7.\u00a0 Why do flies frequently rub their front legs together?\u00a0 I have always thought that their tiny brains are scheming and deciding which pile of stinking manure or food to land next.\u00a0 Actually they are cleaning their legs as there are taste and smell receptors on them.<\/p>\n
