Flies
Flies are buzzing two-winged insects that usually invade the house in warmer weather
They come in many different sizes, from tiny little insects to large house flies.
Most have a short lifespan of 15 to 25 days.
They increase quickly in numbers because a single female can lay 100 eggs at once, and they hatch within 24 hours
Flies are one of the spring insects you need to prepare for early
The Common Housefly and the Lesser Housefly are the most widespread household flies. The adult is 7-8mm long, grey in colour with black stripes on the back, with a single pair of veined membraneous wings.
The large compound eyes take up most of the head and are wider apart in the female than the male of the species. The smaller Lesser Housefly, rejoicing in the scientific name Fannia canicularis, is the one that cruises around light fittings, abruptly changing direction in mid-flight.
The Housefly has a sticky pad on each of its six hairy feet, and these enable it to walk upside down on ceilings or crawl up windows. Houseflies complete their life cycle of egg, maggot, pupa, adult, in a week during warm weather. The eggs are laid in batches of about 120 on any rotting organic matter and the legless white maggots burrow into this food until ready to pupate in loose soil or rubbish.
