Housefly Life Cycle Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5202
The Housefly Life Cycle Model by Jaincolab is a biology teaching model depicting the complete developmental cycle of the common housefly, Musca domestica. Designed for zoology, entomology and public health laboratories, this housefly life cycle teaching model illustrates each stage of one of the most widespread and medically relevant synanthropic insects.
The housefly is a holometabolous insect, undergoing complete metamorphosis through egg, larva, pupa and adult stages. Eggs are laid in batches on decaying organic matter such as garbage, manure or rotting food and hatch rapidly under warm conditions. The larva, commonly known as a maggot, feeds on this decaying material through three instars before moving to drier surroundings to pupate, forming a hardened puparium from its last larval skin. The adult fly then emerges from the puparium. Because it moves freely between filth and food, the adult housefly acts as a mechanical carrier of various microorganisms, making it significant in public health education. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents each stage clearly for classroom study.
