The whole life cycle from egg to adult may be completed in 8-20 days depending on Temperature. A new generation may be started anywhere from 2-20 days later.
Under favourable conditions the eggs hatch in 8-30 hours & larval development is completed in 5-14 days.
Pupation occurs over 3-10 days and the pre-oviposition period ranges from 2-23 days. Adults may live from 19-70 days.

The approximate life span of a house fly is 29 days. During that time, a female will lay about 2,000 eggs. Flies can taste with their feet and smell with their antennae.
