Like when they come in from outside, do flies really die in a day?

According to a scientist at the Forest Reserve District in Illinois, The life span of an average adult housefly is from 20-30 days, and may even survive freezing weather if it stays indoors.
Even more interesting is that a female can lay 500 eggs in 100 batches each time, thus it can produce ten generations in a single season. Even more amazing- is that their wings can beat 160 times a second. Something to think about when next time around they land on your nose!

That's not true. There's a lot of good stuff inside a house to live on, especially in the kitchen. Flies can actually live a long time, weeks if not months. In my house, I do not get very many flies because all the windows are screened up, and the flies that get in do not live very long -- I kill them with the fly swatter!!

The insects of this family comprise what might be known as the typical true flies. The bristle of the antennae is feathery and the abdomen is smooth except for a certain number of bristles near the tip. The larva as a rule feed upon decaying animal or vegetable matter, more abundantly upon animal than vegetable.
The group comprises many species and includes some of the most common and abundant forms, such as the house fly (Musca domestica), the horn fly of cattle (Haematobia serrata), the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans), and some of the so-called "blue bottle" flies. Certain members of this group, such as the horn fly, and the stable fly (both species having been introduced from Europe) are very annoying t0 live stock and produce great loss by their attacks.
Many species of this group are of much value as scavengers, destroying, through their great number and quick breeding, quantities of decaying animal matter, but some of them are again injurious as appears from recent investigations by virtue of the fact that they breed in human excrement through the carriage and distribution of the germs of diseases of the intestinal tract..
