Despite fly behavior depends on fly species we’re talking about, most flies have common featuressuch as their life cycle or their general attraction to faeces, manure and decaying organic matter.
Its life cycle is divided into four phases.
Females lay up to 2,000 eggs over their lifetime, around 75-150 at a time, which hatch in just one day. It is then that the larvae, pale in color and commonly called worms, focus on eating for 5 to 14 days, before creating their cocoon. Thereafter, the adult fly finally emerges after 3 weeks and lives for a month in this form.
female flies they lay their eggs in feces or garbageHence why we see them near something so unpleasant. This is because decaying matter and excrement contain large numbers of bacteria, proteins, minerals, fats and carbohydrates such as cellulose. With so many nutrients available, the larvae they have everything they need to grow🇧🇷 The amount of nutrients they have available to consume in their stool will determine their size. Therefore, when we see a small fly flying, it does not mean that it is young, but that it is he didn’t eat enough to grow big and strong to your adult stage, like us!
Houseflies don’t just eat dirt like grubs.
As adults, they still need to feed on discarded organic matter, as their mouths have developed in such a way that only allows them to consume liquid or semi-liquid foods🇧🇷 When they land on solid food, what they normally do is vomit into it, creating a nasty solution that they gulp down. this obviously contaminates foodand is the main reason why houseflies are known to transmit disease🇧🇷 Flies carry around 100 pathogens that, if ingested, can result in serious illnesses like tuberculosis, typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery🇧🇷
They are not disoriented.
Finally, to explain the behavior disoriented that they adopt in the houses, we must understand that these small insects, although they have large compound eyes, they don’t have good eyesight Their eyes only allow them to detect movement and light, which is why they are attracted to them. In nature, use sunlight or reflected light from the moon to guide yourself and fly in a straight line, using it as a reference point to maintain a stable angle🇧🇷 This explains why flies hitting mirrors and windows🇧🇷 With their poor eyesight, not only do they not know it’s glass, they can’t tell it apart. They fly and follow the light, and they keep bumping into this invisible, unknown object that blocks their path.
So flies are not stupid creatures, they are just disgusting and can be harmful to our health!
