1. FLY PARASITES FLY LIFE CYCLES - BASIC PATTERNS (1) LARVA FREE LIVING, ADULT PARASITIC MOSQUITO larvae live in water, feed on microorganisms MOSQUITO adults fly to hosts and feed on blood complete metamorphosis via pupa stage

2. FLY PARASITES FLY LIFE CYCLES - BASIC PATTERNS (2) LARVA DEVELOPS IN MOTHER ADULT PARASITIC larva in mother adult without larva eg: TSETSE, SHEEP KEDS, LOUSE FLIES

3. FLY PARASITES FLY LIFE CYCLES - BASIC PATTERNS (3) LARVA PARASITIC ADULT FREE LIVING BOT FLY larva burrows in live tissue of host BOT FLY adult does not feed, only disperses and reproduces

4. FLY PARASITES FLY REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES MANY OFFSPRING - LOW SURVIVAL FEW OFFSPRING - HIGH SURVIVAL MOSQUITOES - ~ 4 batches of 200 eggs, 2 week larval development WARBLE FLIES ~ 2 batches of 50 eggs, 1 year larval development

5. FLY PARASITES LIFE CYCLE OF LUCILIA BLOWFLY (This is facultative myiasis, larvae can survive on carrion) eggs or 3 larval stages on dead or live host pupa in soil adult

6. FLY PARASITES LIFE CYCLE OF HYPODERMA WARBLE FLY (An obligate myiasis, specialised for live cattle) female seeks cattle for egg laying eggs laid on leg larva burrows in flesh of cattle mature larva pupates in soil
