Fly Facts
Flies Behavior
Common houseflies can be very persistent when trying to get to their meal. Most times houseflies will rest on window blinds, ceilings, countertops, floors, or even near potential food. Their ability to fly is well maintained by their membranous wings, with a wingspan of usually 13-15 mm when they are adults.
Flies Appetite
The appetite for flies usually is feeding on organic material. This means many flies feed on, feces, fruit, vegetables, meat, animals, and plants. In order to take in food, houseflies will vomit on their meal, causing the meal to break down into a liquid.
Flies Life-Cycle
The life-cycle for houseflies is generally brief, ranging from 1 day up to 4 weeks as adults.
