Answer:
Life span
The average natural life span of fruit fly adults in optimal temperatures is 40 to 50 days. The life span of the fruit fly is heavily influenced by temperature.
Explanation:
Life cycle
The fruit fly's life cycle begins when the female lays her eggs on a piece of fermenting fruit or other decaying, sweet organic material. She can lay up to 500 eggs, making it difficult to control the population. After eggs hatch into small, white larvae, they eat from their nesting site for four days, absorbing the nutrients and energy needed to transform into adults.
Larvae then locate dark, dry places for pupation. During this stage, the legless larvae grow six legs and a pair of wings before emerging as adults. Full pupation takes approximately four days. During this time, the faint outline of the transforming fly is visible through the pupa case. Following pupation, adult fruit flies are ready to mate in about two days.
Note - its pupation - It is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages.
