"...The complete life-cycle of a house fly takes from 10 to 21 days. On the average, 12 generations of house flies can be produced in one year.
Adult females lay 120-150 tiny white eggs, usually in manure or other warm, moist, decaying organic matter. A female lives for about 2 1/2 months and can lay up to 1,000 eggs in her short life..."

I don't know about flies but there certainly is a butterfly species that lives only for 24 hours.

Depends on the species, some flies (mayflies) live only hours, but regular house flies live for about 3 months.

Hi. If it is a May fly, yes. From the web: "The adult's entire life span is usually only a few hours (though at least one species lives as long as two days)" http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=May+fly&gwp=13
