How fast do flies reproduce?

Question

In a matter of seconds, days, etc.?

Answer 1

Depends on what kind of fly.  There's (at least) one kind that has its entire lifecycle in a 24-hour period.

Answer 2

Days.

'Coz it has stages.

like

from egg to larva to fly.

Answer 3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayfly

This is the one who is only able to fly (and reproduce) for one to four days, sometimes only a few minutes. The larvas also live around one to four days, so the whole life cycle, and the reproduction cycle is between two days and about a week long.

Answer 4

well! they only live for 30 days and produce about 50 kids in that time. they lay eggs on plants and stuff that turn into maggots which turn into flies...

but yeah.

i'm not sure how quickly after they become flies they can reproduce
