Once a female fly has mated, she can then produce continual offspring throughout her short life.

Three work the same way in both male and female flies.

They mate with wild female flies, which then lay only sterile eggs.

A female fly lays up to five clutches of 80 eggs each.

Studies suggest that female flies of this species prefer larger males to smaller.

For certain experiments, female flies were used, as indicated.

After mating, a female fly may lay several hundred eggs in total.

Male flight can be very fast, the female fly is quite slow, somewhat like a glider.

Each female fly can lay approximately 500 eggs in several batches of about 75 to 150.

For instance, are the female flies suffering from hot flashes?
