Fly Pupae

Commonly found near decaying organic matter, trash, animal waste, or indoor environments where food sources are available.

In this pupal stage, the insect does not eat. As larvae (maggots), they consume decomposing organic material, and as adults, they feed on a variety of liquids and semi-solids.

This is the non-feeding, immobile life stage between the larva (maggot) and the adult fly. The outer shell hardens and turns reddish-brown before the adult emerges after approximately 3 to 6 days.

Adult flies can spread diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and salmonellosis by contaminating food. They are indicators of sanitation issues. In the ecosystem, they serve as decomposers and a food source for other animals.
