Housefly kind of food
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

Adult house flies feed where they find decaying matter, sugar, or flower nectar. They feed on honeydew left by aphids or other bugs. Adult houseflies never have chewing mouthparts. They use saliva to change solids to liquids. Sponge-like mouthparts pick up semi-liquid foods, such as feces and decaying matter.

Fly larvae feed on moist organic matter. They need to store away a great deal of protein so as adults they have energy to search for food, find a mate, and produce eggs. They have sharp, curved “mouth hooks” used to scrape and cut solid food before flooding it with digestive enzymes.
