Study Notes
Forensic Entomology: Fly Life Cycle
- Fly life cycle and development rate are highly affected by environmental temperature.
- Eggs are laid near food sources, including moist mucous membranes, mouths, nostrils, eyes, open wounds, and exposed genitalia.
- Eggs hatch within hours, entering the first of three larval instars (stages).
