Unless I can smack them first, then it is much shorter

Well, there is another bit of trivia for me to file away. Interesting.
I did not know this one

Wonder what a house flies life expectancy is?

Anywhere from 25 to 36 days depending on the temperature. I just looked that up when I was looking up gnats...LOL

The average lifespan of an adult housefly is approximately 15 to 25 days. Since they can complete their lifecycle in as little as seven to ten days, flies typically live between 22 and 25 days from egg to death.

I know a few people that I wish they had that life span.

Wow, that is not long at all! Although, I won't say that it pains me any

I hate houseflies!
