My husband says he remembers reading in his Biology book that a house-fly can fly 10 to 12 miles an hour. If its outdoors and with the wind it can fly up to 15 miles an hour. No wonder I'm no good with a fly-swatter.

In general insects cannot fly as fast as most people think. This illusion
is a result of their small size. The fastest insect clocked accurately
was an Australian dragonfly at 57.6 km/hr (36 mph). Horse flies can
travel at 24-40 km/hr. House flies are much slower, about 8 km/hr.
Oddly, C. H. T. Townsend calculated the speed of deer bot flies on a
Mexican mountain slope at over 960 km/hr! He was impressed by the blur
they made as they passed by. However, in reality these insects travel at
about 19 km/hr. If they traveled at the speed Townsend calculated they
would loose their wings due to shear and splatter themselveds on trees,
rocks, or even their host!

It depends what insect you are talking about because not all insects fly at the same paste.

A house fly reproduces very quickly and lays up to five or six batches of eggs in their lifetime. The batches of eggs range from 75 to 100 at a time and hatch within 48 hours.
