Best Answer

The common housefly (suborder Cyclorrhapha) generally can have a life cycle of 15 to 30 days. The lifespan varies depending on the temperatures and living conditions.

Four distinct stages characterize its life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs, which resemble individual rice grains, hatch within a day; larvae, also known as maggots, live for three to five days; and the pupal stage lasts three to six days.
