It looks like a grain of rice… but is it ?

There are different fly eggs, which vary by species in size, shape and placement. One of the most common that you may see throughout your home is from the house fly.

These eggs are also really similar-looking to little grains of white rice and they hatch super fast  typically within 24 hours of being laid.

Wondering what fly eggs look like? Just think of tiny grains of white rice! Housefly eggs are very small, measuring approximately 1.2 mm long.

Female house flies are pretty interesting when it comes to reproduction they typically mate only once and store sperm to use to lay several batches of eggs. Each batch consists of about 100 eggs, and she lays them on items such as leftover food, decaying animals, or even animal faeces. She may lay 5 to 6 batches of eggs over a few days.

A couple of things about flies and their eggs  make sure your food is covered, and do your best to keep flies off it, he said. Flies can’t chew, so they regurgitate digestive enzymes onto their food to rupture its cellular structure before slurping it back up. Your meal would get infected which may lead to food poison and who needs that food poisoning can cause diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, fever, headaches and tiredness and it is worse.

So cover your food, to eat it safely, without surprises!
