Right probably not what you are looking for because lets face it who cares about the life cycle of a fruit fly but it may help a little in your battle against the little pests or you may just find it interesting to know a little bit more about them. I could forward you to a dictionary or something similar but thats all boring so I will explain a little here.
Basically there are 4 stages in the life cycle of the Fruit Fly: Egg, Larva, Pupa and Adult.
In the desired temperature (21ºC) these stages will be completed to full adult in less than 2 weeks.
Amazingly after only a mere 48 hours after the first breaths are taken it is possible for the females to start laying eggs.
For females one single sperm is sufficent to fertilise many eggs.
