Answers to Queries

FLIES Subscriber City. Why is it that we

The larvae of the common house fly
are maggots without legs or head,
found in decaying vegetable or animal
matter. Eggs are laid in groups eight
days after pairing, and in from II to
"a hours the young larvae make their
appearance. Each female lays about
20 eggs. In IA days the larvae attain
their full size, when they crawl into
.dry or protected place and contract
into larvigerous pupae, in which they
remain for two weeks, when they ap-
pear perfect flies.
