How come flies never starve to death?

Question

How come flies never starve to death?

Answer 1

I don't know where you got that, but they die from starvation all the time.  If you deprive a fly from food or water they WILL die, and within a relatively short time.  Why do you think flies die when they are caught inside your house against a window?

Answer 2

If they do not starve to death what did all those flies on my window sill die from?  Old age?

Answer 3

Flies eat a steady diet of c**p. The world abounds in c**p.

Answer 4

i dont know about starving

Answer 5

I don't think they live long enough to have time to starve to death.

Answer 6

Do they really not starve to death? I know flies live 24 hours or so and that normally wouldn't give nost things time to dies from starving, but they may have a high matabolism and need lots of food, like hummingbird, and just might starve to death and we wouldn't know, unless you wanna do an autopsy on a fly?

... also they aren't fussy eaters, so there's lots of garbage for them to pick at.
