  1. The Life Cycle of the Fly By: Bailey

  2. Eggs • The eggs of a fly are about 2.1mm. • Are a creamy white • The eggs are piled in small groups. • The maximum temperature of an egg can be 25c – 30c. • Eggs must stay smooth or they will not hatch • The female fly can lay up to 500 eggs

  3. Fly Larvae • Fly Larva can be 3-9 mm long. • Usually a whitish color by the head. • Head has one pair of dark hooks. • Like warm weather. • Dumb bell shape and are soft. • Attach them selves to rocks and wood • Are a food for birds and reptiles • Before they are pupas they are about 15 -20 mm in size • some fly larvae eat other larvaes • Are called “eating machines” because they can eat quite a bit • Larvaes can consume 60cm of a human body • Fly larvae molt (shed) their skin twice before going on to the next stage of their life • When ready to change into their next stage they go about 50ft to find a cold, dry place to change stages

  4. The Pupa Stage • Goes underground when changing into an adult fly • About 8mm long while in pupa stage • Can be yellow, red, brown or black • While changing into a adult fly. They go in sacs called a ptilinum • uses its head to break out of the ptilinum • Have reddish brownish skin when becoming an adult

  5. The Adult Stage • Feeds on body fluids • Female adult flies lay 75-100 eggs • Can travel 20 miles per day • 6-7 mm long • Have markings on the sides • Wide space in between eyes • Usually live 15-25 days • Female fly will lay 400 eggs in her whole entire life • If not have food they only live 2-3 days • The only way female flies are able to have babies if they have food to eat • Female flies are larger than male fly • Possible for them to live for about 2 months A fly up close

  6. Interesting Facts • Eggs take one day to hatch • Eggs look like grains of rice • Scientists tried seeing how much the fly population would grow. By August there were 191,010,000,000,000,000,000 flies in total.

  7. Conclusion • This is the end of my slide show. I hope you enjoy it and learn a little something that will come in handy some day. • Bye !!!!!!!! :)
