Houseflies Have a Very Short Lifespan
The average lifespan of a housefly is only about 28 days, though this can vary depending on temperature and living conditions.
About this fact
Houseflies go through a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, adult) relatively quickly. In optimal warm conditions, they can complete their life cycle in as little as 7-10 days. As adults, they typically live for 15-30 days. During this short time, a female housefly can lay hundreds of eggs, contributing to their rapid population growth.
