Summary
The life cycle of the common house fly (Musca domestica, L.) is supported in an optimum condition within the commercial cage laying unit. The manure and waste feed provide an ideal media for breeding, egg laying, hatching and larvae development. The mature larvae pupate and hatch into adult flies. The reproductive cycle requires 5 to 10 days, depending on the temperature, humidity and light.
