Musca domestica – House Fly Pupae
House fly pupae are a high-value feeder insect for insectivores that benefit from variety in their diet. Pupae are easy to handle, do not escape, and hatch into adult flies that provide active prey stimulation. They are commonly used for dart frogs, chameleons, mantises, and other insectivores that respond well to flying prey.
Key Characteristics
- Species: Musca domestica
- Form: Pupae — hatch into adult house flies within days at room temperature
- Size: Adult house flies are larger than fruit flies, suitable for medium insectivores
- Nutritional profile: High protein, good for variety feeding
Usage Notes
- Pupae can be refrigerated briefly to slow hatching and extend usability
- Hatch rate and timing depend on ambient temperature — warmer conditions accelerate hatching
- Use a fly trap or enclosed feeding container to manage adult flies during feeding
Storage
Store at room temperature for fastest hatch. Refrigerate at 50°F–55°F to slow development. Do not freeze.
