Fly Parasites
The adult fly
parasite searches fly breeding areas for fly pupae. Once found, the fly
parasite drills a hole into the pupa and then inserts an egg in the hole.
This process will kill the developing fly. After 2-3 weeks of feeding on
the dead fly, adult fly parasites emerge from the fly pupae. They then search
out and kill more fly pupae. Each female fly parasite will kill about 100
fly pupae in it's lifetime.
