Flies identification
Mature flies are about 1/4 inch long and have four longitudinal black stripes along the back. Fly larvae have gill-like things that allow them to breathe underwater and can live for up to 3 weeks. Females are active in hot and warm seasons, where they lay 50 to 100 eggs at a time, which is equivalent to 500 eggs in a lifetime, and they lay eggs in decomposing materials.
The eggs hatch within 12 hours, and the larvae begin to grow by feeding on the surrounding materials. They go through three stages: larvae, pupa, or cocoon, and then the adult growth stage occurs within 10 days. Immature flies, called larvae, live in water or in damp or rotting plants or animal tissue, and feed on plants or insects, feeding through breathing tubes to obtain air while in the water.
