CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do flies eat to grow up? (What do flies eat to grow up?)

1. What do flies in farmland eat?

The feeding habits of flies depend on the species.

Some specialize in sucking nectar and plant juices, and some specialize in eating human and animal blood or blood from animal wounds and eye and nasal secretions. The common houseflies, big-headed golden flies, silk-light green flies, blowflies, and flesh flies are omnivorous flies.

That is, they widely consume human food, livestock and poultry secretions and excrement, kitchen scraps and organic matter in garbage. They have a strong tendency to sugar, vinegar, ammonia and fishy smells. According to research, if female flies are simply provided with water, sugar and carbohydrates, they can grow, but their ovaries cannot develop and they cannot lay eggs; only by adding protein food or multiple amino acids can they lay eggs normally.

2. Why do flies like to eat feces?

Flies like to lay eggs there. Because flies like to eat liquid food rich in water. If possible, flies' favorite food is sugar water. Because flies have licking and sucking mouthparts, they need to spit out digestive fluid from their mouths to break down food into liquid before eating. The reason why we see many flies eating feces is mainly because there are generally not many flies in places with delicious food, and flies have no way to get better food, so they have to condescend to eat feces. The most important thing is that you don't have to worry about being killed by a fly swatter when eating this. ^_^ However, if you put feces and watermelon rind together, flies will of course choose watermelon rind because it is said to taste good.

1. Introduction of flies:

In biology, flies are holometabolous insects. Their life cycle can be divided into eggs, larvae (3 stages), pre-pupae, pupae, and adults. Although the life span of a fly is only about one month, a female fly can lay 500-1000 eggs. According to statistics in the late 1970s, there are about 4,200 named fly species in the world, and about 500 species are known in my country.

Flies are holometabolous insects, and their life cycle can be divided into eggs, larvae (3 stages), pre-pupae, pupae, and adults. Although the life span of flies is only about one month, their reproductive capacity is amazing. According to statistics, a female fly can lay 500-1000 eggs, and the offspring of a pair of flies totals about 190 million, which is an amazing number. This shows how harmful flies are.

2. Types of flies:

Housefly: Housefly is the most numerous fly in the chicken farm. The adult housefly is about 6-7mm long, mostly gray with four longitudinal stripes on the chest, almost transparent wings, dark brown legs, and self-colored eggs with a diameter of about 1m.

Small housefly: Small housefly is also a common fly in chicken farms. It is 5-6mm long and slightly black in color.

Big house fly: Big house fly is larger than house fly, with a strong body, black-gray color, light yellow back of chest, and golden red or yellowish brown legs. Ball fly: Ball fly is bright black, and slightly smaller in color and size than house fly.

3. The life cycle of flies:

The life cycle of a fly is calculated in days. Its egg stage is about 1 day, the larval stage is 3 to 6 days, and the pupal stage is 3 to 7 days. It only takes 7 to 14 days for the egg to develop into an adult. It takes a few days to more than ten days for the granular egg to grow into a fly.

The adult flies start to move and eat 2 to 24 hours after shedding their pupal skins and emerging from their pupae. Flies can only mate and lay eggs normally after feeding. Flies are very good at flying and are very phototactic, flying to where it is bright, so they like to move around in places with lights during the day or at night. In dark places or at night, they rest on the ceiling, hanging ropes, walls, etc.

Flies can mate 1-2 days after they emerge from their pupae, and they can produce small piles of eggs within a few days of mating. Flies are different from other animals. Most animals mate only when they are in estrus, and they produce one offspring after mating. Flies are much easier, and they only need to mate once in their lifetime. One mating is enough for female flies to produce fertilized eggs throughout their lives. Even if all male flies die, it doesn't matter. As long as the mated female flies are alive, it will not affect their breeding of batches of flies, and it will not affect the fertility of the next generation. It can be said that one mating will benefit you for life. Female flies like to lay eggs in fermented organic matter and feces. Female flies will lay eggs slightly deeper in the substrate, and the eggs will be stacked on top of each other. Egg laying usually takes place during the day. A female fly can lay eggs 4-6 times in her lifetime, 40-100 eggs each time, and the egg-laying period is about 25 days.

About one day after the fly lays its eggs, tiny white larvae will hatch. Fly larvae are also called maggots. The food of maggots includes livestock feces, garbage and some rotten materials. Maggots are very active. From the moment they hatch, they keep turning over and over, burrowing around, and they are also highly photophobic and gregarious. Maggots like to lurk a few centimeters below the surface of food to feed. When maggots mature, they crawl to the drier environment around them, such as loose soil, sawdust, etc., to pupate. If the surface of the food is dry, they can also pupate on the surface of the food.

The feeding habits of flies depend on the -------- species.

Some specialize in sucking nectar and plant juices, and some specialize in eating human and animal blood or blood from animal wounds and eye and nasal secretions. Common houseflies, golden flies, silkworm green flies, blowflies, and flesh flies are omnivorous flies, that is, they widely eat human food, livestock and poultry secretions and excrement, kitchen scraps, and organic matter in garbage. They have a strong tendency to sugar, vinegar, ammonia, and fishy smells.

Flies often land on disgusting things. Spoiled food, feces, etc. are their favorites, and they will naturally be contaminated with bacteria. 2. Flies' taste receptors are on their feet. Because they are contaminated with a lot of dirt, which affects their taste, they often rub their feet.

3. Usually, flies carry more than 200 kinds of harmful germs. Even if they only stay on food for 1 second, they can "transmit" the bacteria to the food.

The fly's sense of smell is very sensitive, so they like strong smells. It will eat some fruit flies, insects, etc. It is omnivorous. Some species like to eat rotten food, while others prefer sweet foods.

Fruit flies like to eat rotten fruit, while house flies and flesh flies prefer to eat feces or rotten meat. What it eats depends a lot on its species, and different species eat different foods. "
