Fly on mushroom
The housefly (Musca domestica) is globally distributed and adapted to human environments; typical features include a gray thorax with four dark longitudinal stripes, red compound eyes, and sponging mouthparts. In warm conditions its life cycle (egg–larva–pupa–adult) can be completed in about 1–2 weeks; the female lays several batches of roughly 80–150 eggs each (often totaling 400–600), preferably in decaying organic matter. It feeds on liquid or liquefied food and can mechanically transmit pathogens.
