Fecundity of the Ely.

Here is the st. Louis Globe Democrats s
little annual essay on the fly: "The
common house fly does not, in the ordi-
nary sense of the word, migrate, though
OF course individuals of the species fre-
quently, travel long distances. The re-
markable fecundity of the fly is quite
sufficient to account for its numbers dur
ing the early summer. A few individ-
uaLs, in the torpid state, survive even the
coldest winter, and with the first warm
days of summer lay their eggs. When
deposited under favorable conditions
these are hatched in from twelve to
twenty-four hours, and in twelve days
the worm changes into nymph, and in
ten days more into perfect fly. A fly
will lay four times during the summer.

calculations have demonstrated that the
descendants of a single insect may, from

microscopic parasites with which the fly
is particularly afflicted, there would be
no worse pest in the world than the fly"
