Where do flies go in winter?

Most of them go to the big fly heaven in the sky. In that case, you may say, how come there are so many flies the following summer? The point is, they do not all die. A very few survive. Some last out the winter as adults. Others make it through to spring as unformed flies known as larvae or pupae.

As soon as the weather turns warm again, the surviving flies set about making up their numbers. And they do this at a staggering rate. One estimate is that a single pair of flies can produce over 300,000,000,000,000 offspring in one season. That is why there are so many flies around the following summer.
