1. What do flies eat to survive?

Flies like to eat a lot of things, from various delicious foods that people like to eat to rotten food in garbage dumps. They eat everything, and they especially like to eat feces.

In rural areas, if human and animal feces are not managed properly, they will become a place where flies breed and feed.

At the same time, flies also lay eggs in garbage and feces, because flies breed very quickly in these places, and can reproduce a generation in about 10 days in summer. Flies are so dirty that they will naturally become the medium for spreading diseases, such as typhoid, cholera, tuberculosis and dysentery, which are very harmful to human health.

Female flies live longer than male flies, with a lifespan of 30 to 60 days; under laboratory conditions, it can last up to 112 days. In low-temperature wintering conditions, flies can live for half a year.
