7 Incredibly Short Living Animals

The Housefly, 4 weeks

The housefly, as the name says, is an insect found mostly in houses, which was evolved in the Cenozoic era similarly as a commensal of humans from the Middle East. A fully-grown adult can live up to just 4 weeks. About 8 mm in length, a female housefly can lay up to batches of 100 eggs at a time on organic wastes such as food or fecal matters. Over a period of housefly lifespan, the female ones can lay 500 eggs. The insect is almost found everywhere on earth with distributions from almost the whole of the world.
